[bodytext] => Whilst standing on a hilltop high I heard the strangest sound It echoed through the valleys And drifted o`er the ground It murmured, wistful, in the stream And whispered through the trees Stilled and lingering in the caves Soft ushered by the breeze I felt a stirring in my breast A pain within my heart Which filled me with great sorrow And tore my soul apart I`m sure I heard the earth cry, deep Within my fettered mind A haunting voice inside me Spoke through these eyes so blind "I`ve cradled every one of you In tenderness, so pure and true Protecting each from pain and strife A beauteous haven for your life" "To nurture you is all I know Helping each to live and grow As kindred souls upon this sphere As one, in peace, and free from fear" "And yet you choose to torture me Destroy my land, defile my sea With hate, and ever growing greed You trample down each tiny seed” Then as the rain, like tears, spilled down I heard her sad lament Resounding through the universe Such fearful discontent "Oh when will man, with open eyes Behold the splendour in the skies To gently spread a healing hand Across my hurt and ravaged land" "And when will he become the balm To hold my troubled waters calm And soothe my trembling countenance Upon my fields to laugh and dance" This dream, with you, I hold within Sweet earth, for this I know That if we choose to tread this path Then love will cease to grow And step by step, each passing day Will take us surely on Towards the end of glory, and Towards the dying sun [comments] => 1 [counter] => 139 [topic] => 14 [informant] => ValDohren [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DreamsandWishes )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
