I have seen other blogs who have posted a poem, painting, or other piece of art everyday for a certain duration of time.  I thought I would experiment with that concept to understand what that was like and how that influenced the writing.  So, my first day of my 100 Days, 100 Poems begins now. 

Waves to Mountains

November 24, 2009

Life is only long,
When we decide to walk
The widest road over and over,
The great hills, and golden valleys.

Life is only sad
If we find the loneliest
place and take a seat.
And love appears
In our drunken dreams.

Life is only tender
In the moments of softness,
where crisp and blue
waves show the light.

Life only appears,
In an open field.
Only in the mountains,
Can a man find
His place.

Those who never
Search deep and outside
The city lines,
Are sure to find a road
That never wends.
