Pantheon
*Ribbon* 3d Place March 10 round

Grey and crumbling,
lichen covered memories
hide in the shadows…
         not forgotten
                   but obscured
by the tangles of time.

I run my hands over
their uneven and worn surfaces
and discover
         their hidden strength
                   their hidden warmth.

Stacked haphazardly,
I struggle to understand them.
         I retreat.
                   I stop
as recognition dawns.
What seemed chaotic
now takes on a familiar shape.
I see they form an altar
of yesterdays
in the pantheon of my mind.

No longer are they
         meaningless debris...
They are the foundations of my life.
