There was a story
Told by sages
Of times
And trials
Lost to memory
Written in stone
Broken into
Forgotten sands
Such are the pages
History told
In voices
Long silent
Language unknown
Ears shuttered
Truth is not words
The best evidence
Only found
In the fires
Of mind!
in more than words present tense reveals
waste no time as shadows lengthen in the sun
a rising moon is felt more than it is seen
teeming tidal pools run red in the night
Once a far off dream became
a legend of the fall
Where time and place had come to be
the ruin of it all
There the haunting hollow sound
The taking and the giving meant
Forgiveness would be understood
As the weeping willow bent
Before the gale that came ashore
and spilled into the west
Soon the sun revealed the ruin
Where love had come to rest
Lost she was until she saw
Through eyes the dreams were spoken
Of lives that stood before the storm
Their memories unbroken
In sacred gardens another time
The plenty of the earth became
Fruits that grew to be forsaken
Wilted, washed, within the rain
We turn and time has passed its will
Life springing from the land
Could we have known the way we were
As light before the shifting sand
Heroes, legends, faces, ships
Philosophers of stone
Their epics written in the stars
As guides to lead us home
Across the sky a band of cloud
Aether wind builds the Eagle reign
Dragon waits behind a great wall
The Bear’s long slumber has passed
There are stars in our eyes
Light blends experience with eons
Photographs paint the soul’s story
Its testaments written in stone
ever after is allowed
to find the reasons measure
a chance to ask the emptiness
for all there is to treasure
buried before the storm began
as glaciers scored the land
what had risen now would fall
by the sweep of nature’s hand
lands of long ago forgotten
all the works the ages gave
myths are what became of lives
forgotten with the grave
time is just a measure of
the rounds around the sun
then sun again around its star
as ages are un-spun
for all the distances of space
cannot begin to measure
the truth behind the word that spoke
the breath of life we treasure
forever is another place
a land now lost beneath the storm
as Titans clashed within the Earth
their lovers lost in form …

in drifting desert sand
dunes have rippled
for eternity
questions carved
in stone
as sunbeams
of gods
among us
rainforests hide
the scars
terrible sacrifice
in lunar shadows
greyed monsters
took maidens forsaken
giving up
their hearts
shadows of time
skyfalls and floods
revolts and circles
leave mysteries
beyond our sight
intuition supposes
where we’ve been
forevermore again
Shall I fill your heart to overflowing
until the waters breech the dam
and in the flood then left ensuing
wreak their cleansing on the land
Such the fate of dear Atlantis
where wanton wills prevailed
survivors sailing east and west
sure to meet in time again
sealed by fates sure hand
