Love of Life

Every day, every night Everything seems the same The darkness, the light all smother me. When will I Start to notice All the issues apart from My own little world? Seems to me that I am Blind to life, yet loving life How can both of these diverse subjects be so alike? It does not mean that one should not take notice Through the babbling streams, bubbling and warbling There is LIFE! No more tears, No more sorrow for no one shall be smitten dead by sorrow, tears, or misgivings. Cherish that you are alive.

Congrats on your win. A very well crafted write. I really enjoyed how the structure funneled the reader down into the distillate, as it were, of the felling of each stanza. A very strong and effective choice.
