'merica

land of wheat’d plains
coastal eagles soaring
mountain divides
governed by you
forged through us
patterned on Ten
standing on giants
seeker of lions
laying with lambs
welcoming partners
spreading the dream
utopian borders
tucked in prayers

Craig Cornish Date: 10/24/2024 1:56:00 PM This is how poetry is meant to be written - thought tossed like seeds to provoke a feeling - not rants, nor descriptions, simply catalysts? Too often lazy minds wait, at their own peril to be absorbed by whatever black hole is closest---as you do, I prefer to keep my distance, because gravity is an irresistible force!

America has survived 248 years on the basis of personal freedom, why change now? Thx 4 your visit and comments, CC. :o//

Eileen Manassian Date: 10/21/2024 9:46:00 PM Lovely lines here. Seeker of lions laying with lambs... reminds me of John the Revelator's depiction of heaven.
