'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

How fascinating... the way your mind weaves these thoughts and images and yet it makes so much sense! Beautifully written! Xo

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!

Your vote is personal, keep it there. Win or lose, you did your duty. America has survived 248 years on the basis of personal freedom, why change now? Thx 4 your visit and comments, CC. :o//

Lovely lines here. Seeker of lions laying with lambs... reminds me of John the Revelator's depiction of heaven. America could be a heaven if its stayed true to its ideals. Your love for country is felt. .

America can heal some woes, home and abroad. Hope you’re staying safe, with a sound mindset and comfort from the Lord.
