Instinctual

Just like penguins that know when to leave the sea and make that long cold march that leads them to their mate, I too am drawn from all security, with no questioning, to begin the journey that I know will surely lead me to you. Inspired by the movie "March of the Penguins" and the Fibonacci Poetry Contest of rob carmack

Wow! Such an original way to describe following your heart's desire, like being pulled along by an invisible cord.

Very creative, Andrea! You are a woman of faith...and no questions asked!! Congratulations on your win! [noted a comment about grammar!! Can Fibonacci be made up of 7 lines, because I have already seen 2 such ones among the top 4.]
