MARBLE AND STONE--revised
MARBLE AND STONE
A reflected shadow once burning night
Grace and form
Fluidity.
Magical words these.
Now I am
No longer who I used to be.
I stand in shadows dim
Alone
Marble and stone
Listening to my blood crash through my veins
My being into slow motion change
Yet
Feeling Mind and Spirit soar
Into Memory
To places I’ve run before.
Tell me
Do you see a statue or a man
Standing there no breath
No movement
To behold.
And
Do you see him bleed inside
Or do you pass him by.
Do you see me in the light.
A reflected shadow once burning night
Grace and form
Fluidity.
Magical words these.
Now I am
No longer who I used to be.
I stand in shadows dim
Alone
Marble and stone
Listening to my blood crash through my veins
My being into slow motion change
Yet
Feeling Mind and Spirit soar
Into Memory
To places I’ve run before.
Tell me
Do you see a statue or a man
Standing there no breath
No movement
To behold.
And
Do you see him bleed inside
Or do you pass him by.
