Watch sky scrapers erected
so tall, centuries of whispering they chant
calling to passerbys, come
read my lines, scale my steps
immerse yourself into me
for I have been, seen all
and know your path.
Museums full of history
hissing their past life.
Crinkled caskets tipped open
offering a glimpse into the past
presenting intrigue, questions
like a scroll of what happened
bloodied and torn
tempting you to figure out
the puzzle.
I could walk forever. Become one
with earth wind and sun. Catch
the grit of legendary people
from then and now. A full body frontal
of what it truly was
to live
like kings, serpents and mice alike.
Just fall into history
never come up for the eroding air
of here and now.
I enjoyed reading this, RF. Personifying skyscrapers was neat-o; I enjoyed the imagery you used:
'Watch sky scrapers erected
so tall, centuries of whispering they chant
calling to passerbys'
