Return The world is falling apart
violent tremors herald the arrival
of the subterranean leviathan
that writhes through desert sands
searching for a civilization to devour.
Mountains tremble at its touch
as if he is its first love
glancing across the schoolroom
and regarding him with
a demure eye and pearly smile.
If the depths below are
uncovered by the splitting of
tectonic plates and spires of stone
what is found that resides below
will never be seen again;
for the petrified remains
of world rulers past
will be understood in a way
entirely different than
the former generation found them to be.
The world is coalescing
rebuilt from the mud of the swamps
and returning man to a time
when the glory of his life
was an oracles stone temple
revealing a future
he already knew.
