Drinking Life

We search for place

to know the known 

and understand each moment,

Yet in constant motion, 

we blanket in

existence and self-atonement.

And what is life?

What’s worth the breath?

The inhale and exhalation?

Our liberty?

Our choice of road?

Our dreamy expectations?

To breach the bounds,

to climb a fence,

and build a ladder to the stars,

to rip and tear 

and shred what’s there 

understand the nears and fars.

Tickle ourselves,

with worldly mirth 

and giggle ’til we pee.

Bathe in 

everlasting waters.

Come now, come bathe with me.

Let’s love until 

it hurts my friend, 

not worry, connotations 

Let love consume, 

burst at the seams, 

and drink our own libations.

Come sit here friend,

acknowledge all,

the gentle breeze will set us free,

no solid touch, 

dimension feel,

no start or finish to you and me.

What’s worth the worth?

Where are you now?

Where you are supposed to be?

Relinquish all, 

the sweetness yours,

you always had the key.

I noticed in the listing of new poems you had posted something about Trolls and Hackers. When I tried to read it, I got a message that I had blocked you....which I have not. Not sure what is going on, but glad I was able to read this poem. The lyrical poetry of Wordsworth never grows old. If only we could "build a ladder to the stars".....with words we almost do. This is so lovely. Lydi**

Hey Lydi - Oh I did not post that about Trolls and Hackers (someone else did) - I wouldn't bother wasting my time writing about such stuff - but I did comment on the post - and I believe you quite possibly blocked the person who posted.

Having said that - thanks for reading this one :) much apprecaietd and much love X

The poem is strong yet still written in a very calm tone.
