Diggin' Up Dirt (The Old Others)

Diggin' Up Dirt (The Old Others)

 

diggin' up the earth;

 

and all the brown-soil-offers

is truly just some small glimpse...

 

because really we'll never know

just how the old others lived

True. We can speculate and follow text book findings. We will not know while we are alive, but that one fine day - when we see Jesus, we will know. By then, his majesty will be so overpowering, we may not even care. I enjoy your poetry because you find simplicity in life and turn into beauty.

True, but isn't it fun watching those shows and imaging what their life styles were. And finding clues to how they did things. yet there are so many things they haven't been able to explain no matter what they try. and the answer may be so simple.

I love this

james, you have created a classic title, which draws me to certain contemplation
"digging up dirt (the old others) those who have passed away, and just how many generations, species,
plants have gone the way of the dirst, i really enjoy how this poem takes the reader to a place of
empathicness, feelimng for the earth itself, your words really stay in the readers mind,
sentimental, its in the voice, no matter how its written, beautifully done,

A very thoughtful piece. I like the originality of the phrase "old others".

You have said so much within so few words....pure talent :-)
