"Worm"

by Lianne Olive Hennig

Blind little wiggly worm, inching along a sun bright surface,

Exposed to unknown dangers in its search for new spaces to

Chew through, taking a necessary risk to gain new

Experience in its life, to open fresh paths.

Human beings, with less to lose, find it harder to expose the

Softer side of themselves to the dangers of new adventure;

They wallow in stagnation rather than truly

Exist in a better, brighter reality.
