RE: Perennial (Original Poetry)

in #poetry4 years ago

What a beautiful poem you bring us today, Eric! My eyes are tied to the first and last verse. We are a bottomless pit of contradictions: we like life best, when we are closest to death; we want more time, when the sun threatens to hide; we learn to swim alone in shipwrecks and lose our fear when we have lost all battles.
It is always good to read you. Nice Tuesday for you...

Thank you Nancy! Oh, you are so right...a bottomless pit of contradictions. I feel like the more present we are the less contradictory we become. I'm glad you enjoyed this one! I hope you're having a great week.
