There is a place

A place

A place

Where strength resides

Where an ivory spine is intertwined with tethered truth that roots itself into

The soil

And under earth

Before earth

Before the shape and filling of things

There is the beginning

 

There is a place

A place

An antidote

To all this is and was and come what may

 

There is a place

There is an elixir

That flows as rich and sweet as honey

 

There is a place wherein majesty is kept

Fixed as still as an Arizona canyon wall

 

There is a place

Of mighty men

A place wherefrom will fly

The windblown mane of horses

 

There is a place

–Bastion of stillness

Wherein resides

The safest waterfall that ever plummeted through your veins

And echoed fast “you’re living”
