Rare beauty, a chance taken
Weakened responses
Weakened responses
Intense chills, dark eyes, trading glances at night
Fade to mist, spontaneous chords, melody of the days
That one initial touch, a lesser lifetime ago

Still Standing
Shrouded in fog and loneliness
Mostly unknown for decades
A solo sentinel standing hilltop watch
While the masses sleep and play
Alert for intruders and thieves
Eternally present to sound a warning to invasion
To fill the void left by ignorance and apathy
No time for frivolity
Silent and aloof in single minded dedication to duty
Resilient in the haze of repeated intrusions
Still resisting the elements
Still strong
Still devoted to its calling
Unrecognized by those who mindlessly revel solely in results
Feel free to preach from your perch
And expect all to listen
To demand occasional notice
Even though that’s never been your way
You would rather keep your humility and dignity
Accumulated over the echoing centuries
Therein you find your own infinite rewards
The knowledge that you made a difference
