A Mountain Speaks - Poem by James B. Earley

Beautiful is the sleeping mountain and beautiful is the poem describing it. (Report)Reply

Very inspiring write. I hope I could make one like this ;) (Report)Reply

This poem has many layers... I am very moved by your observations. I've probably seen that mountain [I was once a stewardess living in Burlingame]. We all are as grains of sand and together we form God's beach. (Report)Reply

I agree with all other comments....wordless more I clap...keep clapping...and...may my endless clapping reach that speaking mountain...special clapping for thoe last two lines....awesome (Report)Reply

a philosophical read, with profound thought weaved flawlessly (Report)Reply

Though beautifully concise, the vivid imagery speaks volumes. Excellent rendering of man's minute position in God's Timelessness. (Report)Reply

I read some of your poems...not only are they well written, they are also well- thought! It seems like in each poems, you reflect deeply on things and circumstances you encounter. Each of us have our own unique interpretations about poems. I hope my interpretation hits your own even a little. The mountain speaks... it has spoken to you during your quiet times. As you gazed at the mountain's beauty, you began to think of your worth, your existence. At the end, you realized again that you are a mere speck of sand in the world... you may be insignificant to others but still, you are important to others no matter how few they are. I believe that God uses things and people to help and talk to us. Just think of how he used Mt. Talapaise to connect with you...

By the way, thanks for your comment.

God bless and take care. (Report)Reply

Very yrue my friend man is an insignificant speck in the vastness of creation (Report)Reply

Dear Mr.James B.Earley
It is very refreshing to read your cute poems. I think Mnt. Talapaise is really influencing your verses with her beauty and magnanimity. I read some of of your poems they are great. For your kind information I do not feel I am matured enough to write comments about your poems as my exprience is English literature is very minimal, I studied commerce and Law both subjects drains away one's artistic talents. So here I am posting my poems inroder to tease all of you.

Beautiful meaningful write, James...in fact it is you who speaks here, the mountain responding to your words in your mind...10/10 (Report)Reply

You speak like the father of our fathers, wise and grand but always at level. Written in such a way that one can hear your voice like a sunset coming up behind the mountain.
