Smiles. I resonate with this poem all too well, except I am hobbling rather than limply kicking. I feel like a lot of things were not my choice at all, definitely a case of survival being the main idea. Awesome.
"survival always the foremost consideration" You describe a spare life, in a way--but in another sense, survival should always be the first consideration. I'm glad you're here.
Rall, I suppose each day dictates our mood and perhaps the weather can have a strong impact. Influences certainly help with choices towards poetic words :)

I am glad we can always keep on kicking even if the kicks aren't quite so mighty - Jae
