Bud, Bomb and Happy Sperm

Have you noticed the similarity between
a flower bud,
an atomic explosion
and a sperm?
The forward look
toward the sun,
toward the sky,
toward the egg.
No choice.
The bud follows life’s determination
to spread beauty.
The explosion follows division’s anger
to spread destruction.
The egg follows life’s passion
to unite and multiply
at the will of the egg.
The egg chooses.
She need not choose strength.
The sperm has already demonstrated its strength
by arriving
along with a few thousand other winners.
She looks for happiness
radiating from health
capable of defending
the needs of life.
