PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

upon a distant hill

just beyond the valley's grace below

stands a city by the light divided

doubling over the dawn

the rays splay their glorious warmth and

color

bespeaking of great light wisdom

unto the grass

the trees

the sidewalks and the summer gardens

and front porches yawning over their front lawns

a Norman Rockwell vision of life

so flawfully painted

in an unspoiled abundance

homespun yet heartfelt

from dappled childhood

to gangly teenagedom

the splash of living

dots the landscape

lathers the avenues

and bedazzles the streets

blanketing the criss cross

of bustling neighborhoods

with laughter

and the all too familiar goings on

of family and friends alike

community and social structure

valiantly striving to keep the

breath flowing through out the

city

town

countryside

county

burough

hamlet

shire

and metropolis

the lives of the living

are ever flowing, growing and expanding

at an astonishing rate of speed

all the often unaware while

we rise up and fall down

only to rise again

beneath the divided lights of love

and wonder

God's personally canvased gift for each body

he's made for man and all his mankind......................
