Final Destination

Final Destination


            Life is ephemeral essence drifting above ocean of ancient land

            Breathing this invisible potion created by the indomitable hand


            Across eternal realm imbued are sacred obligations to embrace

            Variation between size and shape or equality of time and space


            Presentations of unbiased or prejudiced adjudications may infer

            Enlightenment or frailties flowing within supreme joy or despair


            Blind faith adrift incapacitating spirits in a collective mind exiled

            Asserting all components in the universe are creations of a child


            The seed in its innocence cleverly uncovers the ideal depression

            Defying the speed of light the snail achieves its final destination

It is not the famed sprinters who win the race, but it is the seemingly slow who reach the destination ! Great wisdom in these lines.

As they say, the race does not necessarily go to the swift! ~ Sammy Snail.
