The Far Surpassing

The mountains offer towering peaked grandeur.
The sunset blends its range of colored fire.
The desert spreads its many-flowered floor.
The sea yields its varied exotic blurs.

We climb the peaks for grander, awesome view
and try the hues of earth’s broad far-flung scenes.
We wonder at such tide-worn birthing, too,
of surf-pound sands and foaming blues and greens.

A man, to woman, is a tempered sight
when in his strength and youthful, perfect frame,
and man adores the woman’s gracious might
and fascinated with her given name.

All heights and depths of all the race of man
surpass in beauty sky and sea and land.
