The Greatest Battle Never Won By Paul Wilson The fiery beast raised it's head slowly above the trees as creatures of the night scurried into the shadows They’re searching for the last fragments of security as the beast blazes trail across clouds of white pillows Cool night breezes evaporate into steamy clouds of heat with passing of each minute upon dew covered ground Mothers now gather a feast from the earth for their young before heat of the coming day leaves nothing to be found Higher and higher beast of the East continues climb into the sky above mountains and grandeur of West The lord of darkness fights back refusing to release it’s hold …but can’t repel march of time it’s no contest Darkness in the East is gaining upper hand on beast while those in the West now simmer in their losing fight Shadows become highlights of color and artistry as cool breezes encompass creatures of the night We’ll fight another day this battle with no repose beast of the East makes ready for another attack Join us great father of the North in this heated fight thrust your Wintry blast upon the Sun make him turn back Ice and snow falling from Winter’s sky leave casualties of today’s battle with more to be fought… more will die Please join us beast of the East in our battle against Father of the North…shine your ray’s on us from the sky Sometime you are our enemy…sometime our friend fighting this battle against nature we cannot win We are the victims of their wrath we will never win today will you be my enemy... or be my friend ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul [This message has been edited by Paul Wilson (06-04-2006 12:52 PM).] |
