Pangaea

Surrounded by a global ocean called Panthalassa.

I’m back at the home
I can never seem to leave behind,
even though I traveled 4000 miles
over mountains,
across plains,
and into canyons
all too happy to share their stories
of a continent called Pangaea.

Wherever I go
the Earth holds a tiny place for me,
offering me glimpses of God
in myriad landscapes and creatures.

What I don’t know holds me,
and then pours wine
for my thirsty soul.
