In the Great Expanse of Tomorrow

Shimmering blues catching the light..
Like dew droplets on a chilled morn..
Clouds motionless, filling the sky..
their soft silken shuffle, reflecting upon the silent sea..
Mighty peaks rising from the pebbled shores..
Stretching their ancient bones towards the burning sun...
Scents of pine and wildflowers mixed, floating on the breeze..
Man's footprint here is just that...
A small mark...
Like an ants step on shifting sands...
The earth uncut and unmarked...
Eyes see not what surrounds, they see what is not...
Who stops their churning to witness the dawn?
to watch butterflies dance?
to stand and smile in the rain?
to truly see life and feel alive?
We are disconnected in our connection...
Lost with all roads ahead,
In the great expanse of tomorrow......TAH

Christopher Thor Britt Date: 10/11/2013 2:46:00 PM I absolutely love to read the written art of a deep poet, who knows how to illustrate, rather than tell, with his words. I am humbled. A very great read that I had to read a second time. I am curious, where are you describing? Alaska? Canada? New Zealand? I want to go wherever it is...and connect with what is.

I too love the illustrative word(s). Welcome to the site. I wish you the best in your future writes..Tobey
