Lately i have had a real bad case of writers block so i really haven't posted. SO i thought i would post one of my favorite poems for you guys to read.

written by William Herbert Carruth

Each in His Own Tongue

A fire-mist and a planet—

A crystal and a cell,

A jelly-fish and a saurian,

And caves where cave-men dwell;

Then a sense of law and beauty

And a face turned from the clod--

Some call it Evolution

And other call it God.

A haze on the far horizon,

The infinite, tender sky,

The ripe, rich tint of the cornfields,

And the wild geese sailing high;

And all over upland and lowland

The charm of the golden-rod,--

Some of us call it Autumn,

And others call it God.

Like tides on a crescent sea-beach,

When the moon is new and thin,

Into our hearts high yearnings

Come welling and surging in;

Come from the mystic ocean

Whose trim no foot has trod,--

Some of us call it Longing

And others call it God.

A picket frozen on duty,

A mother starved for her brood

Socrates drinking the hemlock,

And Jesus on the rood;

And millions who, who humble and nameless,

The straight, hard pathway plod,--

Some call it Consecration,

And others call it God.
