[bodytext] => I met a mighty hunter one day On a knoll high, where The mists kissed damply The ruins of ancient worship. “Mighty Hunter,” I asked “What dost thou seek as quarry Where only the stubborn grasses Cling to the stones of ancient sculptors?” “The Sun!” He announced with a deep and proud rumble “But the Sun is free,” I argued “It cannot be captured.” “As sure as the temple about me, It shall come and it shall be mine.” “But the temple is nothing but ruins Of futures past.” “Atheist! Can you not see? It stands about me As surely as my ancestors and I have built it. Now be gone with you!” That same day, I came upon an old man With kind green eyes Beneath a woven macramé face Farming in a field. He paused in a neighborly quest As I approached. “You look distraught, young man, What has brought such turmoil upon your thoughts?” “I have met a great hunter upon the knoll And found him to be a fool.” “A fool?” he asked. “Yes, he seeks to capture the sun.” “I see you have met my brother,” he laughed “He is, indeed, a fool; For he cannot capture the sun As, it roams in my domain!” [comments] => 1 [counter] => 148 [topic] => 21 [informant] => wheels [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
