She stands upon the wind-brushed brass While all the tiny people pass A darkened soul once traced the lines Now dull and weathered, lost to time Would she weep for a brightened start If a beat thumped in her eroded heart? Her personage, known far and wide Will never hold a dream inside The vines that flowered long ago Now only cry of death and woe And still the city passes by While the statue stands, a living lie The people love, the birds will trill As her silhouette is frozen still For forever she will break alone Her prison an eternal garden of stone.

Statue (2)
She stands upon the wind-brushed brass While all the tiny people pass A darkened soul once traced the lines Now dull and weathered, lost to time Would she weep for a brightened start If a beat thumped in her eroded heart? Her personage, known far and wide Will never hold a dream inside The vines that flowered long ago Now only cry of death and woe And still the city passes by While the statue stands, a living lie The people love, the birds will trill As her silhouette is frozen still For forever she will break alone Her prison an eternal garden of stone.
The next in the series of my original poem, Statue.
