C.W. Bryan Poet Rhyme

Advice From a Zooplankton

Like a shy zooplankton, I float along
          Carried by fierce currents.
      I struggle but fear makes for strong,
                    harsh deterrents

This life feels microscopic, the drifting
          in every direction
      I can feel the current shifting;
                    no protection

So I yield myself to the water’s will
          As true zooplankton do.
      It washes over me, until
                    I’m born anew
