Enduring Heritage Poem by Peter S. Quinn

The remembrance from the grained stone of age
Facade of wrinkles enduring heritage
With more to hold in expectations engage
Of smooth settled forms in what life shall acknowledge
More to each day through the years and the past
Perceptive in footage which found their while
Everything scattered like the stars of vast
Exteriors of oceans in each factual style
The basalt of earth in its wet and dry dress
Touch from the seashores of men's vanished time
Now in detection to follow and caress
Through continuing bequest to the past prime
The truth from the land that has gone to the dark
With ways of their founding that once did spark
