In the Dusty Din of Time In the dusty din of time a mountain was a prairie fine and oceans joined and rivers strained then flowed into tall fields of grain In this that has been so immense it’s hard to think of minutes spent this rain that slants across my path climactic change might take at last ‘til the ground is parched and dry and carrion thrive as others die and rationed precious is the brew that now we pour without a clue or thought to what will ere become of that the bridge our life as strung for we have trouble thinking more then life beyond our own front door In the dusty din of time this land of ours will show the sign and what was mountain might be stream for change is part of life it seems How could this lasting loving earth be better for this thoughtful verse? In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

An excellent question, Martie, one which can be asked of anything we do, I suppose. I can't speak for the earth but I ,personally, am better for sharing your words.  |

Great poem Martie! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ Love is such a lonely art, and death is but a taste. Minds are merely instruments that often go to waste! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ |

Ah Martie...I often ask the same... This is breathlessly wonderful - again. Your poems read so well it almost hurts. In the dusty din of time this land of ours will show the sign and what was mountain might be stream for change is part of life it seems Wow.
