The Gorge

I saw a gorge, a remote vision from distant, far far away from the surface, how sharp, how precipitous, how deep!

A  singular, unsurpassed, cavernous  cleft;
a crevice among two gigantic hills, how intense and steep!

The rocky walls of the mountains though withering,
canopying the remote sight from the brink of the rugged cliffs.
The highland though barren, is pampering the rivulet flowing,
emerald- azure, though erosive from shrink!

Its ages disposition, the geologic uplift and abrasion,
elevates the surface to fabricate its tapestry inch by inch!
The diverse, vivacious habitats in its bosom, in seclusion, are dozing,
in remote lowland, far from the tainted world in miff!

The robust gorge, all of a sudden, for its persistent profoundity,
a rare attribute in mortals, became my cause of envy!

Was pondering " where is that Gorge like once perceived devotion, allegiance from human inclination has gone? "

Nowhere the professed deluded ones, stands near its awe-inspiring abiding supremacy, the Gorge, the mighty!

Alas! The demons have taken away humanity's infallible dedication for substantiality and profoundity,
only to be as hollow as floating cotton balls, with no eye, no reverence for sublimity!

The Gorge is the apostle of Almighty's emblem of constant flow of unfathomed steadfast solemnity, beyond earthly folly!

Aeons ago, God's supreme contour, silhouette against the brilliant encompassing sky,
The persistent Gorge, determines to flow distant, diligently, from the lavish absurdity, from the sheer mortals idiocy!

Human devotion, so fragile, so freckle, so self-centric,
wish have an inch depth of the perpetual, perennial Gorge, the mighty!

Neither, any earthly disposition, can comprehend,
nor approach the grand Gorge, in reflections, so fickle, so tiny;
as insignificant as their fleshly existence,
in the face of the  abiding Gorge,
the exalted composition of the Almighty!

Imagery and descriptive excellence my friend. You delivered a poem that brough the expanded understanding of the smallness of mere man when compare to things of the ages like nature and the forming off gourges and canyons. I'm in awe of the patience a gourge displays as it changes, as doth man, with time. Thanks for sharing your beautiful thoughts through your poetry, Silpika. Bill

Man seems to no longer appreciate the beauty of the earth only the height of the skyscrapers. A beautiful picture of a beautiful scene somewhere in this awesome world. I enjoyed reading your work today. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

what beauty has been created by God, what a breathless sigh of ecstasy to be able to see(which in itself is a gift from God as many are not as fortunate and their eyes sadly cannot see this awesome creation of nature) and cleanse our soul by the sheer magnitude and intensity that it conjures within our mind and hearts. i feel humbled and privileged to be on this site and to have met poets like yourself and many others, so glad you are back, you have been missed. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer
