The Beauty of the Earth Date: Friday, 4th June 2010 @ 03:27:02 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: hanasuru The beauty of the Earth, through different eyes, is described in different ways. The Learned who says "I have spoken 1000 tongues" The Traveler who says "I have seen 1000 lands" The Poet who says "I have heard 1000 songs" The Wealthy who says "I have owned 1000 things" The Activist who says "I have smelled 1000 flowers" The Connoisseur who says "I have tasted 1000 foods" The Philosopher who says "I have read 1000 books" But, of all the men to grace the earth, the one who understands best the mystery of the beauty of this life is The Man who says "I have known deeply 1000 men" This poem is Copyright © hanasuru Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
