Off in the distance
Closer than a blink
Mountain cathedrals
Cool springs where souls drink
Like the early morning
Awake before think
Awe walks in silence.

In this still, quiet
Blooms covering, dew
Cry in their splendor
Intensity's hue
Presence abiding
A mystery's clue
Contentment embraces.

Poetry has basic rhythms and meters. I would say mine, today, has a simple meter to it. It is in content that one derives the most enjoyment. Thank you for sharing your input. I have 2 sons that are Marines. My youngest, at present is in Iraq. The oldest, a Gunny has been twice. They are changed men. Still, my boys. You are someone's boy.
