It is a bit spiritual - drawing up the energy from the earth and reaching for the light (God).

okay, I get it. not trying to be a pill or anything, I'd rather ask when I don't get it than to pretend that I do.

Dear Teresa - a lovely Naani, great word choices too. I especially loved your last line...it extends passed time itself I think.
I enjoyed this one and good luck in the contest.
Thanks for sharing.

Teresa, what a wonderful Naani. I love how you worded this, and we must stay in the light to get to where we're going. In dark, we'll stumble and fall. This is really beautifully written, and I wish you the best of luck in this contest. . .Sharon

Comment from Jackarrie
I love this short poem, because it has a profound meaning in it. We are travelling at a very high speed around the sun with our feet planted firmly on the ground. Yes, we are all nurtured by the light of the Sun.
Well written
Good luck in the contest

Hi Theresa,
There's something about the lines of this little poem that sent shivers up my spine - particularly the last line.
Hope you win, dear!

Comment from Titan Black
I was really feeling this poem. For, it screams: "Free your mind, and the rest will follow". A lot of the times a lot of people choose to stand in their own way, not realizing what they are doing. And you did a good job in counteracting that stereo type. Nice job. Keep writing

Hi Teresa,
I love the image you chose, but love your words even more because I imagined myself actually clinging to the axis and spinning with the earth. Wow, what an adventure.
Hugs,
Lou

This is a very thought-provoking naani, Teresa.
It's sure got my limited number of brain-cells working overtime. :-)
I think it's often best to allow the reader their own interpretation, rather than make the theme obvious.
Maybe you're inferring death in the end, when one is freed of Earth's restrictive gravity, and moves onto greater things.
Cheers, Ray xx
