James Marshall Goff Poet Narrative

Atlantis Lives

Atlantis Lives

Transformed by time/ yet held in our hearts/
The truth we seek to be revealed by those who
Travelled before our time/ with hope preserved
In tomes unread/the ancient ones did tell of precious
Dreams and values deemed a right for all that passed 
this way/shall once more see what poets knew to be 
held fast in living truths/the strong shall share with 
those most meek/ to build a life we all hold true and
 seek the path as told before/pray not repeat the
 wayward way that doomed before our planet
slept/fatigued by rules that vaulted greed above
the souls of you and me….

Carolyn Devonshire March 28, 2010 at 9:42 PM Wow, James! You just made my night!!! I saw the title and thought, gee, this is right up my alley and my friend Jimbo wrote it. I can tell from "pray not repeat the wayward way..." that you got the message I intended when writing this novel. Thanks so much for reading the book and even more for this poetic tribute. WOW WOW WOW Love you, Carolyn
