I always gape
At your giant pyramid peak.
How you got that tall?
Did God
Blow on you?
I envy you.
You are a wonder
That people adore.
You can reach the star.
Your sky-high beauty
Is shouting
You conquered the world.
You towered in isolation.
Living things in your territory
Succumbed to your greatness.
How can I reach you?
I want to explore
The mystery in you.
I wish to be like you.
But how can I,
I was born of lesser qualities.
When I look at you,
You always remind me
Of how small I am.
Though I will strain
All my energies and intellect,
And even I will cry
For mercy,
Under no circumstances,
Could I ever
Ever conquer you.

I am impressed by this poem, dated 2017. At that time, I did not know how tom find new poems, how to give new comments and so on, but at present, the world on Poem Hunter is great and very wide for me. A very thought-provoking poem from your golden heart, dear Mrs. Juan Austin. Now I will always find my way on PH, God's Blessings. One of God's creation when He created the Universe. Amazing poem.
We often under rate ourselves. But if we look too deep into ourselves, we will find sparks of greatness lying down. They may be like ash covered cinders. If we blow strong enough, they will sparkle in flame. A lovely poem reflecting the curiosity of humans to explore the wonderful mysteries of the universe.
