"Alive"
is often
used interchangeably
with
"living."
They aren't
the same
thing.
To be alive
is to live,
but to live
is not to
be alive.
To
"live"
is to
pump blood
to your
functioning brain
from your
beating heart
and fill your
expanding and contracting lungs
with oxygen.
To be
"alive"
is to
feel
the full range
of emotions,
the good
and the bad.

A fine distinction, finely presented. To be living is not be alive, although one requires the other. However, we would all choose "the full range of emotions"
over just barely living. Great poem. - Phil A.
Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Very clever, very true. Beatifully expressed and presented.
