Standing by

do we feel as statues

these stands of stone

carved by an outside force

draped in time and patience

having been chipped away

through the drifting years

to reveal the within

what we may have hid

what we may have held

to keep ourselves whole

in lives that were shattered

do we feel as statues

with unblinking eyes

upon the swirling spheres

waiting for alignment

not of any stars or heavenly bodies

but of our own bodies and souls

of our own heart and spirit

to claim the reason for our births

and realize the cost of our deaths
