Array ( [sid] => 98394 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Everything We Were [time] => 2005-06-17 17:27:48 [hometext] => [bodytext] => We were mountains.
Unshakeable.
Kissing the sky...
The heavens surrounding us like a halo.
Majectic and remarkable...
We were mountains.

We were oceans...
Our dreams made of infinity...
Our purity as clear as tranparency...
We could see what all of us were made of...
We were oceans...

We were valleys...
Deep and rich...
Mysterious and capable...
Of holding great things within our fingers...
Priceless things that no man could ever build...
No human hand could ever touch.
We were valleys...

But we have been crumbling
And We have been sinking...
And roads have been ploud through us...
And now the heavens look down on us...
And our oceans have grown cloudy...
And our valleys hold corruption....

We were something back then...
Now...
We are nothing.

awsome job on this one.

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. ©
