Catacombs’ © 2008
written by Glen Yumang Manese
a.k.a. Filipino American Dream

Looking beyond the sorrows of today.
Into the life once bath in gold lusters of times past.
Just a face without a name to the others passing by.
Taking refuge in catacombs long forgotten by the trials of time.
Avenues to sidewalks above the streets of Rome.
A life transformed to a rubble of bones in this gallery.
Extinction to existence become this place of final rest.
Where souls have gone to leave their artifacts.
Claiming a new frontier beyond reach of this Earth.
Knowing death has no real claim to life.
