See how the artistry of man silences <br />Our breath, at the sight of such grandiosity, <br />Thus soul of proud heritage evidences <br />Are distinctively resting in beauty. <br />Magnificent colossus that dispenses <br />Spiritual awesomeness and majesty, <br />Rising to greet our hypnotized gaze, <br />And forevermore would preserve our praise. <br /> <br />There is a pervading solemnity, <br />The essence of glorious times and lives, <br />And the seeming echoes of alacrity, <br />A free and perpetual wind revives. <br />At length we gaze with eager curiosity, <br />Filling our hearts with wonderment that thrives, <br />Yearning to hear our thoughts and their own, <br />But in their sealed lips would remain unknown. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />A colossal struggle that came to age, <br />Of dream drenched in inspiration divine, <br />Embodying a nation's proud lineage, <br />Wherein freedom and equality combine. <br />To man's will in crises, fate designed to engage, <br />With sacrifices their welfare to resign, <br />Yet, reveal their nobility each day, <br />There, in sight of their dreams not far away.<br /><br />Jaime Montanez Salcedo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/journey-to-mount-rushmore/
