    Poem Commentary

    I wrote this piece in 2001. I actually started it and laid it down before 9/11 and finished it after.

    Mountains Tremble

    Over valleys low, winds gust high.

    Mountains tremble, tree leaves sigh.

     

    Over waters glittering, birds fly free.

    Sunsets mesmerizing, skies whispering.

     

    Over mountains high, clouds lie low.

    Rivers rambling, crystal springs flow.

     

    Over fields golden, sun shines bright.

    Morning arises, fading to night.

     

    Over war-torn crypts, tears run free.

    People gather, by land and sea.

     

    Over new horizons, families climb.

    Desperation prevails, precluded by crime.

     

    Over dominating greed, truth cries out.

    Justice is sought, found with a shout.

     

    Over sacrificed lives, hope shines new.

    Heroics displayed, if only by few.

     

    Over terror and injustice, America will live on.

    One nation under God, waiting the new dawn.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
