…while flailing fires of feelings fight
daring to keep dreams adrift
floating on as life’s precious gift
of the next or last breath burns bright
lighting up all that’s true and right
with a stubborn will to survive
beyond the everyday and thrive
to be human in every way
be thrilled to work and dance and play and beguiled to keep hope alive…

Very interesting.
In a lot of ways I tend to think of being human as an “everyday” experience… but your poem seems to suggest that it’s something beyond that.
