Altering the Landscape

    Hurling himself at his work
      passion-surpassing mission

    Setting aside sleep for nights on end
      fire growing with every line penned  

    His epic assuming its desired shape 
       altering the literary landscape ~

    When one troubled eve, his ardor on leave
       he pitched forward – eternity grieved

Everything in moderation is what I believe in - a man has his limits too. Blessings, Jennifer.

Gershon I must compliment you on always finding and writing, in your eloquent wording, subjects or topics that always appeal to your readers and have relevance to everyday life.
