23 April 2019 | National Poetry Month WebPoetrySlam

April 23, 2019 By Annis Cassells

The Giants March
 

Mountains and hills float above the morning mist, like
   islands in
a prehistoric sea, and I have come again to the giants march,
where their arms, whiter than the clouds, flail round and round
in the Djinn-laced air.
I have come to the giants march when sun is rising to make them
   glow,
and when sun has set them into deep dark shadows,
I have known them as a welcome landmark in my travels to
   and from
the land of brown skies and heat.
I see their numbers increase with each passing, and I am
   heartened
that there is some hope for the creatures and humans
in this world of corruption on many levels, the giants
stand above it all, the giants march in place.
