| The Pursuit of Dreams “Go west, young man!” and with these spoken words A nation lifted up its eyes to see The far-flung vistas that before remained Obscured in mists shrouding the horizon. A need to know what lies beyond, ingrained By generations who crossed the oceans For a promise, thin as the pungent gruel They blessed, of a chance for a better day. By wagon, by horse, by foot they traversed This land of endless possibilities. The next valley, the next mountain, onward Toward the sunset, building a nation. Their journey complete, at the ocean’s edge They discarded their old world heritage And loudly proclaimed “We’re Americans!” And with those words, a new journey began.  An entry for the Feb 3 - 10 round of "Word Pictures Contest"  Prompt: Image Form: Free Verse Line Limit: 7 - 40 Line Count: 16 |
