History and nature overlay like ancient Rome buried beneath modern day cathedrals and convenient stores Homes that once had lives that burned deep with passion become today’s museum tour that can’t be touched Meanwhile old spirits haunt today’s walking paths the battle fields wrestling with their guilty concerns And the earth soft with decomposition, the markers mark old compositions of the land While in contemporary times nostalgia burns as modern technology scoffs at the cold winter nights And the embers glow on our backlit screens that reflect our images back upon ourselves
