Stark Sights on the Horizon
By Robert Stephen Herrick
Simmering like the sun
thoughts and zeal combine
to find the rays of hope
within the world's ways
to be fulfilled day by day
as the sun passes upon
stark sights on the horizon.
Too many paths cross
in repetition to remind
those seeking a truth
among the sights and sounds
and of the profound to be
known in the mind and heart
within the very soul.
Stark sights on the horizon
face the cold and hardened
elements swirling in the dire
and dissipating tombs of
lost causes and emminent doom;
take care not to lose love and
the compassion of humanity.
Effort used and misused is
inclined to force dues upon
the very living beings aiming
for life's positivity and charity
not to be subdued to death
but burning brightly to strive
from every path of life.
