    dotsVictims of the Strength of Lifedots
    -------------------------------------------


    At oceans break of waves
    upon submitting washing sands
    I stand in utter awe of a crowning sunset.

    Each ray fo life touching Western Sky
    bringing coming night
    welcoming the starlight's song.

    I open my arms to capture it all
    but silly me
    I cannot hold this strength.

    For this is the strength
    of sun burning for thousands of years
    the strength of a born life giver

    This is the strength that cradled life
    in a loving fathers arms
    and beheld the enlightment of mankind

    This is the Strength that pushed sailors
    far and long to distant lands
    of wildest dreams

    This is the Strength that runs through
    my human veins
    and fills me
    so palpable
    that the roar rests forever
    in my ears
    now deaf from age.

    Victims of the Strength of Life.

      First, let me pick: S1: Should be “ocean’s”. “washing” doesn’t work – maybe “washed”?
    S2: The rays don’t bring the night, but there is always “poetic license”.
    Throughout this poem I notice an excessive use of present participles – submitting, washing [in a row, too!] touching, bringing, etc. After a while it dulls the ears from repetition.
    As for the “philosophical mood”, I prefer to think of it as thoughts – and great thoughts at that. I like the ideas a lot, and I like your approach to presenting them. I don’t care for some of the verbiage and feel it could use (and deserves) some editing.
