Living (Jun 19, 2018)

I tried to write this as a villanelle and then as a pantoum but this pleiades kept forcing its way out.

Living

Life is ephemeral:
Lurking at every turn,
Leaking from every pore,
Longing to reach a home;
Liberating itself,
Lifting the spirit up,
Lasting beyond all hope.

to add a dash of melancholy...

"lamenting dreams passed by"

I know, it's bad form to turn your poem into a group project ;-)
