They also serve, who......

A scene often seen as we drive across the mountains in my State. But sometimes the chaos of the gestures by the hardy God fearing types, inspires someone to click.

Very often the pictures inspire something else. Here.

High on the hill,
struggling through
a rocky life
they stand,
hands outstretched
praising the Gods...

A thorny
twisted
life,
unlike those
leafy ones,
that bend
in comfort
and presumed concern
for a
cooperative earth.

Pushing each other,
squeezing through
the gaps,
a moist sap
stored away
for the future,
these have nots,
are a barrier
at the edge of the hill...
keeping the
unconcerned and unaware "haves"
from slipping
down
as they
apply brakes
to lives at great speeds...

  1. Marvelous words as always! You always manage to bring a smile, a deeper thought, a sudden awareness -- but whatever your words evoke, it is good. Have a beautiful day!
