there you lay - still and majestic. at times, bashful and shrouded, peeling away your white cover to allow the morning's warm embrace to envelop your being-there. my eyes laid on you, you never fail to stir me awed and humbled beneath your enduring presence.
time had passed, moments after moments turning into decades of humanity's gains and expanse. i chanced seeing you once more. still and bare. your majesty dwindled beneath man's penchant for conquest and greed. your comforting presence succumbed. your mysteries forever lost. awe turned to sadness. humility to shame. how i yearned to find solace now i may yearn to provide solace to revive you to better days.
