Emily Dickinson - To be alive -- is Power --

To be alive -- is Power --
Existence -- in itself --
Without a further function --
Omnipotence -- Enough --

To be alive -- and Will!
'Tis able as a God --
The Maker -- of Ourselves -- be what --
Such being Finitude!

To me, this poems meaning isnt obvious, but i think it might be trying to say how precious life is! what's your views? chloe from United Kingdom More Comments >> Are you looking for more information on this poem?
