A Traveling Warrior

I am the seed planted
nine months prior to birth
a traveling warrior
racing around her precious fertile earth
my tail propelling
sending me further in seconds
i need hurry, my target beckons 

                                                         In competition with millions
                                                         all with one objective in mind
                                                         my opponents are vicious
                                                         far from kind
                                                         the warmth of the egg 
                                                         my alternative to sight
                                                         sublime in my movements
                                                         there is no time for fright

Ahead by a distance
I am first in line
there it is, I sense it
by myself, i'm fine
contact at high impact
already almost through
i'm in, i won, i'm the gamete
my seed is now inside you

John Freeman July 21, 2009 at 3:06 PM Man! Man, what a write, that is an amazing ,thing though, It a good thing that God's love is in charge of this adventure! No telling what would happen it all the warriors got there together. This may be my favorite, one! Godly love, Moses!

Carolyn Devonshire July 20, 2009 at 10:15 PM Absolutely brilliant concept and suspense in the execution. Very clever to tell a story from the perspective of the sperm racing toward the egg. Of course, it takes on even more meaning when considered as an analogy for life's competitive nature. Outstanding work! Love, Carolyn
