Might As Well Tell A Mountain ~*Marge Tindal*~  You might as well tell a mountain not to spill her lazy streams, as to try to tell me not to cascade through my not-so-impossible dreams. You'd never chide a mountain from preening in her splendor of green, so why would you try to shatter the dreaming of my dreams ? In sunlight rays adornment, dare you tell a mountain not to peak ? Across the bridging of my dreams, do not try to still my speak. Be gone you slasher, dasher-of-hope, I've no patience, your doubts to reprove, for with the tiniest mustard-seed of faith, I've many a mountain yet to move. I have met the mountain and stand humbly on it's peak. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

And you dream big dreams on top of that mountain, for they will all come true! Poetically speaking you "rocked my socks off" with this one!  (hugs)~*~ I write, therefore I am ~*~ |

You'd never chide a mountain from preening in her splendor of green, so why would you try to shatter the dreaming of my dreams ? In sunlight rays adornment, dare you tell a mountain not to peak ? Across the bridging of my dreams, do not try to still my speak. .... This is magnificent work, my friend Marge... regards, sudhir |

Marge: "In sunlight rays adornment, dare you tell a mountain not to peak ? Across the bridging of my dreams, do not try to still my speak" Wonderful!! The whole poem, but I am particularly fond of the stanza above...for it made me smile at the thought of it. |

Such confidence evidenced here! Superb writing, no wonder your dreams are alive and well! I wish I could keep more of my dreams so un-dashed. Well done! Faith in God, not a lot of faith in me. |

I love this one, Margie gal... and love the strength you speak. *S* I'll have to remember this line: "Be gone you slasher, dasher-of-hope" (especially when dealing with brick walls *S*) |
