Terra-Firma

 
You'll find nothing changed
When you get back despite
Circumstantial distance;
The lock still wraps around
Your skeletal key. The mountain
Tapestry suspended perfectly
Within the rose quartz under
The "touch down of forgotten
[C]onsciousness" surviving
A hundred thousand centuries.
Ancestral etchings still depict
Homeward markers between
Continents. Auburn wine and
Poetry marooned on these lips
Across a country witnessing
A foretold destiny manifest:
Grand Mal of dark experience
To illuminate a final awareness
In an enervated soul desiring  
Only the terra-firma of home.  
.
Even time is powerless to bind
An ever-fixed mark refusing to alter
when it alteration finds. O no.
