Instinct
Do I see scripts where there are lines
Do I see Star patterns where crumbs aline
Is this fear that rises within
A warning from our ancient kin
In their skin
Now my DNA
Do I listen
To the warning they
Convey
And if I do not
Will I be surprised
To find the sun
In tomorrow's sunrise
Will the burn
In my eyes
Be mine
My crime
Or should I blame the world
For not warning in time.
Do I see Star patterns where crumbs aline
Is this fear that rises within
A warning from our ancient kin
In their skin
Now my DNA
Do I listen
To the warning they
Convey
And if I do not
Will I be surprised
To find the sun
In tomorrow's sunrise
Will the burn
In my eyes
Be mine
My crime
Or should I blame the world
For not warning in time.

Author's Note
No theme really fit this poem for me. It's about holding trust in ones abilities while also trusting in worldly facts. The two halves clash more than we'd like but balance is a necessity ^_^

I read this twice, it was good the first time, but even better the second. I felt like the piece spoke about trusting your gut. To look at the bigger picture. Not everything is what it seems at face value. A good write and enjoyed greatly

Exactly, my friend. Sometimes our deep psyche realizes truth before we consciously do.
