    Poem Commentary

    draw from within... and rise 

    Rise

    I hang from life’s thin strands now

    at end’s dark abyss

    and weave more onto this frail web

    for living I shall miss.


    entice the intrusion,

    relinquish all thought,

    succumb to the incidence

    invoking has wrought.


    awake from life’s coma

    in rapture by yield,

    and rise from the casket

    self-cast and self-sealed.

    Awesome... so many interpretations to this poem... my take is the way we seal ourselves up trying to escape pressures of life.

    dragonfly, What a truly wondrous and thought-provoking poem.The direct acceptance og the creature's demise gives he reader the message to accept the end. I love the candid way you deliver this. ginga

    I like it, I like it. There is always life and each of us cannot live without it.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
