BEYOND LIFE'S GREAT MOMENTS poem

Beyond Life’s Great Moments

I am threatened with rain
when I desire fire

the past a consumption of each
precious breath

a moment in time nearby as
yesterday’s newspaper

describing the Temple of Zeus
among its scattered heaps

and how rushing windstorms
assaulted New Orleans.

Yet I am not engulfed by obscure
views as I arise from thermals

like an eagle my mind alive with
freedom and unchained spirit.

'I am threatened with rain
when I desire fire'

I think a lot of people could relate to this piece. The poem is wonderfully crafted and very true. Well done.

Nathan.

Thank you, Nathan. As you can probably surmise, I am trying some different expressions and feel released to verbalize in various ways. Chimo. Richard LP
