MURRAY COUNTY POETRYPoems by Murray Poets and Poems About Murray County FORT MOUNTAIN by John Homer Luffman1910-1987 I CAN'T TELL HOW LONG FORT MOUNTAIN WITH THE ROCK-CLIFFS ON THE SIDE HAS BEEN STANDING HIGH IN MURRAY LOOKING DOWN ON VALLEYS WIDE. SCIENTISTS MAY HAVE AN ANSWER, HOW AND WHEN IT CAME ABOUT. MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE NO REASON THEIR PROJECTIONS NOW TO DOUBT. THAT AN EARTHQUAKE THREW IT SKYWARD, THAT THE LAND AROUND IT FELL, OR TO VENTURE WHEN IT HAPPENED- SURE IT'S MORE THAT I CAN TELL. BUT I KNOW THAT IN CREATION GOD DIVIDED LAND FROM SEA - THAT'S ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE AND IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME. IF 'TWAS THEN HE MADE FORT MOUNTAIN OR TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO; IF HE MADE IT IN A MOMENT OR IF BY A PROCESS SLOW; IF AND WHEN AND HOW - NO MATTER, 'TISN'T OURS TO UNDERSTAND, BUT I'M SURE THAT OLD FORT MOUNTAIN WAS CREATED BY HIS HAND.
