I watch her
she is tiny
strong
determined
unstoppable
pausing only to
nourish herself
and her duty
she works
unceasingly
for that is her
program
one grain at
a time
day to night
night to day
labouring
constant
immune
to opposition
blind
to spiteful
destruction
for building
this mountain
is her sole
purpose and
before me
beside me
behind me
she will.

Determination

Very well expressed - especially the end! I love the power that is evoked throughout the poem, a will that is unstoppable and incapable of being brought under any submission. As always, I enjoyed it immensely C!

I like your new home, and I've added your blog to my fav blogroll. HThanks for adding a link to my blog. Hopefully, I will be back to blogging soon. Life has been really crazy and busy for me, but hopefully things will slow down.

The best to you :)
