“Life will find a way”

The Big Tent Poetry prompt for 7^th March is SCIENCE:

• Alien life might have been found in old meteors: “The implications are that life is everywhere, …”
• The junky interior of the International Space Station: “Clutter adorns almost every surface and is held in place by duct tape, Velcro and metal clips …”
• That Antarctic ice is created from below as well as above: “… the ghostly shapes of the Gamburtsevs and the giant freeze-on “beehive” structure … .”

Животът е навсякъде –

от падането на нощта

до безмълвието на дъгата,

която

все ни дебне в гръб,

за да подчертае, сякаш,

че

животът е навсякъде.

English-language version

Implications are

that life is everywhere –

be it in the night fall,

or the rainbow hush,

which will silently avoid our gaze

to highlight only

that life is everywhere,

just as implicated.

  Well, I believe life is everywhere. I think we are rather egotistical to believe otherwise.

  Thank-you for the English version. : )

  thingy4 – thanks a lot for reading! My opinion exactly! And you are welcome to the English version. (The truth is, no one is ever going to read the Bulgarian one, no one cares.)

  I’m reminded of Jurassic Park when Jeff Goldblum said, “Life will find a way.” Indeed it will. If all the new movie releases are correct, the invasion should start any day now. Great poem.

  Mike – what Jeff Goldblum said is exactly what I quoted, in fact. And how right he was! Thanks for reading and appreciating!
