One grain of sand at a time cemented in adhesion Slowly reaching up in nature’s ambition In one’s lifetime a mole hill on flat land The winds of time resist the move upward But the grains still come together Much like the seconds that record histories The climb continues as an ant hill amasses The infancy of time cradles its existence Gaining mass in a unique existence Man has evolved into a thinking machine Whose universe looks over limited areas As the mound intertwines in its struggles In a man’s leap into the oceans new worlds are formed The hill reaches up into the heavens Giving shelter to all the living things that claim it Explorers find a steep incline Going into a view of the terrain Where the magic can be seen In a spell of broken vows The land is plowed down From its virgin height In the injury of it pride It erupts in desperate plea Spewing into a lava flow So man has to step aside For destiny has to be built In the mountains of tomorrow Thought: Man’s power builds in each generation but it will never out grow nature magnificence. I will not be posting as much as normal to see the complete set of poems email me to get on a distribution list. If enough requests are made from this list, I will then post that poem here. To get on this list email me at davelyoung1@hotmail.com. Thanks and blessings from a dreamer that hope to make a difference to a reader someday. I write so much that I do not want to overburden a site with too many of my writings. Your writing is important as mine so it should also have its space.

I must echo that thought. . . there's more beauty in a drop of rain than in the highest skyscraper. . . well done. . . ------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
