A way

inspired by Jurassic Park

 "Life will find a way,"

so will love.

and death.


we insist on
reaching for one,
and running from
the other.

the order
depends entirely
upon the way
life found us.

You got it & you got it in so few words you make the truth seem so straight forward...N

[Lyn Anderson]

True words and logic dear friend.
"Life will find a way,"

and death."
I agree. Birth and death must be known. What we do in the center does matter. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry my missed friend.

You are welcome.

K.L., You are so right... it does little good to reach for or run from life, love, or death, they are both a part of the cycle of being, and can only be embraced in their own sweet time. This is a lovely expression of a true lesson learned.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks once again for your ever insightful reviews.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

We can try and alter our universe any what we want… but God's will always prevail.

[Lyn Anderson]

Ah but we have been given that thing called free will. Thank you.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

depending on the individual, we do embrace one and run from the other...maybe that is caused by doing it one way, and then being driven to the other.

Quite likely, I think, thanks as always.

[NoelHC]

Deeper than this appears at first glance, well done KL.

[Lyn Anderson]

That's what I was going for.

[Lydia Shutter]

So true. Do we reach for love? Some of us do. Actually, I think there are times we reach for death....I have seen too many people in the last stage of life who wish for it. You are wise....it does depend upon how life finds us. Such a thought provoking write, KL. Lydi**
