Larry Bradfield Poet Rhyme

Beauty In Crumbling

Beneath my feet
        Erode these blue granite mountains
      Pummeled by rain and wind with hail and sleet
        Forming creeks and fountains
  Into a crumbling of three hundred million years -
  A process so slow that no human sees or hears
    Or understands the flowing tears
  Which mark the beauty of crumbling as bittersweet

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 11, 2019 at 3:05 PM This is wonderful! I was just yesterday looking at a bit of shield sticking out, draped in green, thinking how few people see the magnificent violence in it. This a fave for me :) xomo Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 12, 2019 at 6:59 AM Lovely said! Larry Bradfield June 11, 2019 at 9:45 PM Thank you Maureen! I love the comment"magnificent violence". I am fascinated that we look to the stars in the night sky for peace when in reality a more violent place cannot even be imagined.
