Some great symbols in here about the waters of emotions. Really well done the way you gradually worked through to the conclusion. Sounds just like real life and the way we will tiptoe all around a problem, looking at it from every which way before finally giving in to just tackle the thing finally (hold our breath, step off that diving board..LOL)

Oh do I ever understand this poem. Well done. Brovo. I suffer this malady as well. A poet friend RH Peat

some serious thoughts on life...message beautifully conveyed...thanks...10

Sometimes before we find the rainbow we need to feel the rain. You have written so much passion and wisdom into this poem and it has a very strong message. Well done! 10 Karin Anderson

Yes sonya, a pair of new eyes is what everyone requires to experience your poem; very nice, dear!

This is at once disturbing and yet full of courage and hope...some things we have to face alone but emerge the stronger for having done that. Great poem, Sonya.

i think everyone has wondered what it's like to die. it's kinda sad tho that we only realize what's important after losing/nearly losing it. this is a really nice poem. :)

A sort of rebirth here Sonya. A coming out of baptismal waters sort of rebirth. Very nice with great flow. Thank you for sharing.

I love this yin-yang analogy - perhaps we can only experience the wonder of our lives if we don't hold back; perhaps its euphoria only becomes clear if we've experienced life's despair. I'm sure this adeptly crafted poem will have an personal meaning for each and every reader - therein lies its beauty. S :)

A meaningful mysterious poem with so much to conceive from it in different ways for it seems to be an insignia that can guide everyone of us to think about the facets of our lives and allow ourselves to face them....

This is one of those extended metaphors that really works. Even though you do not say what it is you are talking about directly, in this case that works to allow us all to fill in the blank with our own meaning from our own lives. Thank you Sonya, a deep, meaningful poem.

Fine use of metaphor. You have the spirit and the courage to survive. We are all writing for our lives, Sonya. Take care. Kind regards, Sandra

This poem is saying more than at first appears, I'm sure. Perhaps we do need sometimes to 'sink and drown' before we know what we are looking for.

wow... these words are so very beautiful indeed... i love to read these types of writes.. very passionate read.. liked this one.. with lots of love shan

very inspirational and cool. vivid imagery and a good story tying it together, a story of rebirth! ! awesome
