In Dark Waters

In this dark path,
In this wet bath,
My instinct is to swim forward.
Millions like me,
In a rapid flurry,
The little prey ahead we move toward.

To my prey I am linked,
As I react to instinct,
And swim ahead with uttermost determination.
Many around die,
After they have desperately tried,
To find the prey we all seek, our final destination.

Now slowly I crawl,
Hindered by adhesive walls,
As I reach the big hollow, that nurtures the fruit.
I carefully enter,
And swim towards the center,
Exploring private territories like an ill-mannered brute.

Looking up from the middle,
I try solving the riddle,
Of where located is the treasure that I seek.
Blindly I swim up,
The walls of this cup,
So wet, so hindering, causing me weak.

My senses begin to work,
Somewhere close does my prey lurk,
In a determined effort I give all in me and move ahead.
With utmost care I move,
As this is severely behoove,
If recklessly proceed do I, the sticky walls, me, would behead!

Dark it is in here,
But my task is clear,
Faster I move, closer towards this journey’s end.
Others beside moving quick,
Few absorbed by the walls, few sick,
But I move now with extreme vigor, all my energy I am made to spend!

Hindering liquid in my way,
My body is battered and frayed,
Victory in this race is what I desperately seek.
Fighting hard in pain,
Against the liquid my bane,
I journey forth in my last effort, though survival looks bleak!

Finally I see the prey,
Ahead in my path she lays,
I pounce onto her walls and begin a new venture.
Into the walls of my mate,
I slowly penetrate,
I enter inside, victorious and happy, preparing for the next adventure!
