Sink or Swim

There's no class for this.

No instruction manual.

No water wings.

It's sink or swim.

And some of us are just barely

coming up for air.

And the breath of love

relieves us not.

I could be wrong but I get that this write is talking about fate or destiny and some things are like that in the grand scheme of things. Another take on this is that some things we just have to try and experience and learn along the way how we can swim and breathe properly if we are to drown. The ending is throwing me off ( not your fault ) for I sense that love can't relieve all the aches and pains but it might causes them...A very good poem...:)............

Is it love or lack of love that causes pain? I don't think that love, in its purest form, causes pain. Thank you, Sami.
