Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

Diving In

where the heart leads
adventures follow
daring hearts
geared up to go
enthusiasm soaring

anticipating the challenge
forging ahead with confidence
thriving on the lust for conquest
lay groundwork for elation
swooping in wholeheartedly

eager to launch each escapade
lunge and pounce with conviction
high on the taste of freedom
riding the waves of time

deriving satisfaction
biting into life
measure man against himself
alone in the universe

master of his destiny
owning his achievements
implode with passion
