Quest To Breach the Chasm

We seem separate, sadly so
Culture's children of East and West
A horrid hole lurks humankind
Traipse through time to stand up straight
History's tears tell the true tale
Finding freedom from irksome isms
Inner inklings shine to the stars
Will wise hearts always pay the price
Wrought with woe, wars waged unwon

Face race, our original sin
Seeking healthcare for everyone
Reset concepts for world order
Find ways to treat our foes as friends
Cross grand gorges, greet the other

My inspiring friend, your lustrous pen spills pearls of depth and artistry. Your keen intellect, expressive talent and poetic skills shine in this masterwork. Every line a gem to be treasured as a whole, but these lines especially stand out: "History's tears tell the true tale" is metaphorically moving and "Finding freedom from irksome isms / Inner inklings shine to the stars" oh, the alliteration and meaningful beauty sweeps me up, and "Cross grand gorges, greet the other" a grand gesture to bridge the divides and live as one! A fav! Congratulations, Greg, for your excellent win in L MILTON’S contest. Warmest wishes always, dear poet.. ~Susan
