Mount Eternity
Mountaineers are scaling Mount Eternity,
wearing boots, of countless illusory days.
Hands to palpate of "Dawn's" first light,
are covered by gloves of determination, that
was sewn, into the style of the day.
Ski caps are made of sand and clay!
Goggles are made of procrastination,
rose colored, to keep today and tomorrow
out, least from reality, they become blind. Now
they're thinking of dangers past, of
tasks left undone behind.
All hang by a safety rope made of
regrets. They're dangling now precariously,
over cliffs, with crevices of dreams, chiseled
by memories, of what use to be.
Pick axes were used, to break the Ice of
HOPE. Now only devastation
the mountaineers will know; Meanwhile,
spectators in the first camp below, safe from
harm's way, spy through binoculars to
see how game of "LIFE", is played!
The mountaineers had communicated by
a wireless. But the wireless was hastily left
behind, when the first snow slide invaded, then
it boggled the Mountaineers' minds!
Would be climbers of MOUNT ETERNITY, man in
all his glory is nothing but a fragile memory
that's made of glass, as
he climbs only a buttered wall, until he
slips, then he falls!"

A Noble Tree
A tree grows tall and proud,
Reaching its branches towards the sky,
as if in prayer to God above,
it lets out a mighty cry.
"Jehovah God, how great your wonders are,
Such sights are here for all to see.
The majesty, of the universe,
A mighty tree like me.
Forever may I sing your praise,
And magnify your holy name.
If only mankind, as your son did,
would sanctify your holy name!
How sad this world has become,
Mankind is full of hate and greed,
And leaves the singing, of your praise,
to tall and noble trees."

Youth
On wings of tomorrow, they fly
about while
on canes of wood we walk. Ahhh,
the sweet sadness of youth. For,
they've yet to savor the memories,
We've stored.
