Mosaic

My face is the mosaic of time.

Recognisable but filled with defining lines.

I am motionless but watch as you stand on me.

Point, click, stare at my wonder.

 

I am everywhere but I am everywhere only where you are.

We are the same, but you cannot see from your perspective.

Colours bold but still faded over time, faded by feet, bared by tourists. Of my face.

 

So many lights by day, but night I can reflect.

On my own light.

I have seen how world's have changed.

But where I remain. I am untouched by history.

 

The mosaic is my mirror.

And it is yours too.

Mine imprinted in the ground, yours is just printed.

Are we different?
