Assumption

Sun ached to rise,

above the jagged horizon.

It lit the shadow,

of stone work,

of your craftsmanship.

It stood high,

strong and everlasting.

A stone giant,

held together with assumption.

Assumption of him,

the prince that you seek.

Recently one has followed,

to the top where you lie.

He said the verse,

a promise, an assumption.

He would mend the holes,

patch the sides.

As time rhythmically passes,

the tower would stand,

strong and eager.

Until your assumption,

is not yet reality.

The one that followed,

sometime ago,

has left with the moon.

As your eye tears,

the tower leans,

crumbles.

The salty liquid,

corrodes your assumption,

that is often set in stone.

I watch from afar,

knowing the outcome.

I tread among the emotion,

overflowing and scattered around.

As your kin, your brother,

I help to pick up the pieces.
