The Earth Embraced Him He was born Upon a Mountain high Everything he is or could be was above him The sky was the limit It was there above him All he had to do was grasp it The wonder in his eyes lit up the room The Sun shone upon him The Earth embraced him He grew to manhood Life passed him by Everything he could have been, Forgotten as time passed him by He died alone Wondering why The Moon shone upon him The Earth Embraced him |

Jefsand, Welcome to Passions!!! Very nice entrance for your first post here. This was good writing with a hint of sadness at perhaps chances not taken in life. I think there is an important message here. Live life to the fullest without regrets. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.  Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

jefsand how sad and how true of so many I've known who did not reach for their dreams ... well said and welcome to passions ... My calling before me, let quill be my offering; For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive. M.A.M. |

JefSand~ Hi there ! Welcome again ! This is a nice entrance piece. We must embrace life to be embraced by it. Sadly some do not realize this. Hope you'll enjoy reading and replying and posting more poetry. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Thank You for the kind replies, being a novice and a little nervous, it was hard to do. Being a watcher for the past few weeks, I'm still amazed, everytime I come here! Thank You! Jeff |

Enjoyed this very much...nicely done!! "He grew to manhood Life passed him by Everything he could have been, Forgotten as time passed him by" Very sad....I feel this way sometimes and it saddens me!! Living in the moment and every moment as if it the last...if only!! Welcome to Passions!!! Bridgette  "Somewhere, somehow, it should be possible to touch someone and never let go again.

Life is like a river. If you stand on shore, it passes you by. Step in and get swept away by its current. A great first post, jefsand. Don't be nervous, I'm sure all you will find here are friends. A part of life we all need. Welcome to Passions! Trew I have been to see the world. Tasted life at every turn. And all the time your face came back to haunt me. -Chris DeBurgh |

Thank You for your posts. I suppose that at some moments in our lives, we think too much and forget to enjoy it! |

I loved the 1-2-3nes of this poem. Being able to state so simply something as complex as a persons entire life is a talent within itself. |

Hey - this is awesome!!! And welcome to Passions... Great to have you here. I saw this as a circle...with fulfilment in the beginning and the end, and how important it is to enrich the middle. Loved it. K |
