I try to stay alive
to live my life:
to demonstrate to all of you
how I live this life.
I too am struggling to sift sand
from lace; I too am plagued by ants
eroding roots and fire place.
The curl that stubbornly
refuses style, I too attempt to let it
in sleek stroke
relax a while.
But numbered is my stay
and each delay reminds me
that I am alive
in heaven
and in earthen maze.

Just when I thought I understood the meaning of life God introduced me to his two most exquisite and enigmatic creations.... woman and poetry. Appreciating both but understanding neither gives me plenty of reasons to hang on to the only piece of heaven I have here on this earth. Best wishes in the contest.
Sincerely,
Leo Long

I like your rhyme. I like the imagery here. Yes, life is hard but we all must strive to overcome the difficulties that this life brings to us. Keep writing, this was very good.
