Leaping for life


***
Like the whale
who needs to surface
to breathe oxygen,
leaping out
of his habitat,
I too, I am in need
to rise above my
surroundings
to sip the
heavenly nectar
dripping from
your soul.

It’s a drive
to survive,
but even more than that
it’s the awareness
of being alive
within this life.

And we all need something that gives us that... even if for only a season. *S*

Beautiful work! *S*

What a beautiful way to share the drive that makes up the lovely Margherita!  You shine through your poetry - and I love how each poem you share makes my world just a little bit brighter.

Love,

My dear, dear Dolphina, leap for life! Leap with joy! Breathe in the fresh air that streams above troubled waters.

My, o', my! You look quite fit leaping so high!

Love the rhyming you have in the last stanza, Margrit, breaking the mold just a bit which I always love to see in Poetry.

Yes, it is a "drive to survive"

Dear Margherita - I think we rise above our surroundings when we sleep.  We must do otherwise we perhaps couldn't survive.  I so enjoyed this.
