Treasure filled vistas, though near
Remain unseen, untouched
Whispers of their reality fade
Amid a cacophony of earthbound chatter
Creative potentials wither
Siphoned off in purposeless dissipation
Core disharmony stirs
Registering heart's dissent
From credulity's perpetually open door
Wearied with earthbound imposition
Dressed in pseudo-freedom's tawdry attire
Longing for relief from mundane glorification
Yet once again submerged in blind commonality
Marring identity by incremental defacements
Until necrosis wears familiarity
Death made palatable by spoonfuls
Yet a heavenly root remains
Sprouting quietly beneath the ruins
Patiently rejecting earthbound makeovers
Never fully relinquishing the birthright
In hope that beast will again become man
Unbound and undefined by temporary status
On earth but not of it
