Destination

Who said it is only you and me

Show time passed, as others may see

Scars shine as deep, on earth as well

That beautify ageless face of thee

Those cracks in barks and rings of age

Hide truth undeciferable by any sage

Valleys so deep, mind can't fathom

Secrets are locked at bottom beige

Can't see the end from where it starts
Nor can fathom beauty impart

Illusion of sky just getting lost

Such is the majesty of crevices dark

Changing its colors from day to night

Are mysteries revealed only when bright?

Or secrets hidden display with time
No matter shallows or heavenly heights

Canyons so Grand, a wondrous place

Memories of eras bound to a space

Persisting waters ever so soft
Chiseling it's art in earth's carapace

They beckon me back again and again

Without them my life looks merely plain

Not just physical but spiritual whole
My soul's destination without fail
