An Ants Long Joureny
An ant´s long journey
He sat on a palm leaf
going downstream
over him, dark wings fluttered.
As an ant he had enemies
they saw him as a snack
not as a shivering life.
A waterfall
he fell out of his leaf
sought safety
on the head of a crocodile
seeking prey
saw the beast taking a bite
of a gnu,
and thought
horrors never end,
He floats to the river ended
and the ocean began.
The swells overcame him
he could not breathe,
such a long journey
for what?
