Poem - Intrepid Nature
By: John E. Murray, III
Have you ever seen paradise,
Yet, could not smell the flowers?
I have.
Have you ever crossed the finish line first,
Yet, did not win the race?
I have.
Have you ever heard the thunder,
Yet, never felt the rain?
I have.
Have you ever touched the stars,
Yet, never seen the moon?
I have.
Have you ever felt complete joy,
Yet, feared its source?
I do.
