This place I visit; we visit

Where we look, imagine, wonder 

What was it before, we came to adore

Where our past and present come to full circle 

Invites us to all that we are and so much more

There, we present ourselves with ourselves

Where once upon a time we, others, existed 

Lived what we knew to survive, to thrive

Admire those of us who were inspired

They have long ago expired, yet still live on

Forevever they live on in time as we gaze in awe

Nature's intricate works beckon us all around

Unfolds its presence in sights and sounds

Many are the wonders we will never know

Will be on display as if to show

A world this unique wherever we go 

This place, our home, the only one

Where all ever lived under one sun

Though we're tempted to touch all we see

Reminded everywhere to stay and see

As touched as I am in spirit and soul

A place shines a light on things untold

We are one with this place sharing time and space

Take time to listen to voices that still speak

Indulging us to come into their presence 

A legacy for all alike to see, not up close

Clearer vision sets in when farther away

Hence we come again and again as helpless 

Allowing our emotions, thoughts, be selfless

The kid in us wells up as when in our innocence

Ventured into these doors to our amazement

Consumed by all we saw and in awe

Silence so thick to the touch

Could this be the earth as it is, nothing new

Yet old enough to orbit it's path as if young around the sun

This place will always have a space for all

Our common humanity shines at its brightest 

Reminds us our present will become one's past 

Others will like us, come to look, to imagine, to wonder

In awe to almost reach out and touch, still to be told, not to

Yet still be touched by the present and of the past
