mysterious places survive on the planet
long ago civilizations, remains of existence
Aztec ruins, Inca temples, Mayan calendars
and Egyptian pyramids

each brought thought
or were gathering places
to worship or learn the
knowledge beyond current ages

energy lingers in meridian lay lines
a matrix of thoughts they left behind
new age, new wave, or ancient wise
someone was there in that time

we more than wonder
as we absorb in breath
the exhaled air they left for us
and treasures of cities since buried

will our cities crumble
and look like that
will our memories
remain behind

to be looked at and studied
by a more modern man
of what was once
upon a time

maybe he'll find a long lost poem
encrypted in our binary code
our ancient technology
hard to decode and determine
the fate of our species
