I Do These Things

i love the up and downs in my life. they make me who I am.

Audacious, what a bountiful word

 

Reminds me Spring is always there for me

Gives me strength to swim up river

Even escape the swipe of a grizzly's claw

I know your hunger is feirce dear bear but

This life is mine and I'm living right now

Pushing limits and walking coal beds

I do these things

 

Sometimes reckless and bold

Prancing around with the burn of a deep fire

Confidence seeking from my attire

At the same time I yearn to retire

And to never be rehired

I think of one day meeting my sire, if he's available

Then I think of myself as Coley the Terrible

I laugh, then quietly sob

I do these things

I really like it, it makes me smile with a kind of pride. I like how you tied in the image of the bear, and then to how it moves and how you associated other things within it. tho I think I saw the bear one in the same with the narrator not really separate but both bold and bare fire.

this piece has deep meaning to me...

You did very well bringing me into your youthful energy. Following that with an eye to the future set a wonderful contrast.
Well done.
