Thrusting through the sky
Majestic in its beauty
too proud to ever die

It stands through out the ages
Overwhelming all that see
The natives believe it a god
And pray to it fervently

To scientist an object of study
How, what, where, and why
To lovers a place of romance
Their love they pledge with a sigh

To me it is a dream
All I long to be
Standing strong and silent
Hurt a memory

Alas I'm only human
My strength has reached its end
No longer fight the powers
That force my knees to bend

Broken and left with nothing
I raise my eyes to see
That mountain has passed its judgement
On the mess I've made of me [comments] => 2 [counter] => 227 [topic] => 32 [informant] => mrpeanut64 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )
