Worm

Whish goes the breeze underneath wing 
Slam goes the claws against the earth 
Scratching to find the buried beings 
Brown bugs worms hard at work jerked 

Crush is the end of many of us 
Not always meeting ideal end 
Tis easier to win losing is tough 
Smash path of white winged wins 

Slithering worm who got away 
lives to see despite no eyes 
Squealing bird also is fair prey 
To a monstrous cat purring pride. 

Bling is the ring of sun shining 
For worm the underdog persevered 
Tomorrow’s singing bird will be flying 
Win or lose a wiggling worm will appear.

interesting one. Worms sure do give me the willies!! I hate thinking of them crawling in my dead body. (the reason I will have myself cremated!!) I like the theme of that worm never giving up though. We are so much like the worms that get jerked up from the ground!

Thanks for reading. I think if your ashes are spread on the earth you still end up worm food. Such is the cycle of life. Worms eat dirt. Lol
