No Man's Land

Is there yet any land left untouched by man Like there was in the long agos upon the isles of the Galapagos Where varied specis lived and thrived where adaptation was alive Is there still some small space where man has left no trace Perhaps in the jungles of Brazil out upon some ancient hill I have a notion that in the oceans lie the only lands unconquered by man For not even space it seems is safe from man's reach or dreams We've ventured far beyond the Earth to explore and decide its worth Yet in the end, it doesn't matter much we're all just little bits of cosmic dust TLH © 07-28-2012

But you left your mark right here with this lovely write of yours Tanya! There might be some place in all this world man hasn't walked on, but I doubt that there's any worthwhile places! What a wonderful poem to express all of this so eloquently, the Earth, near Space, the Ocean, all of which man dominates! What a remarkable piece I must say! Great Work!!
