Can You Dig It?

Posted on December 18, 2018 by John Biscello
So many souls
as buried cathedrals
yet look closely
and even the barest hint
of broken spire
peeking out from beneath
the rubble and tomb-swell
will tell you that an elaborate
structure of magnificence
and wonder
is waiting to be extracted
and explored,
to be claimed
as a measureless find
of native
cosmic origins.
There is no time like the present
to dig
like there’s no tomorrow.
