Mountains Mark the Boundaries of Our Dreams

April 24, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is the environment, in honor of Earth Day, which is celebrated on April 22, and Arbor Day, which is celebrated on April 26.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A poem about the psychological significance of mountains:

Mountains mark the boundaries of our dreams.

Over them lies nothing more than Heaven.

Use them to take well your wistful measure,

Nor can you enter them without the pleasure

That comes from being dwarfed by one great given,

As Being becomes just the God it seems.

In awe one finds a tonic for the soul,

Needing to pay homage to the whole,

Silent angel swelling sacred streams.
