The words just sort of came to me this morning, so I thought I'd post. It's from the view point of a teen female in futuristic earth... *smiles*



I'd always admired them
the way their polished
forms stood proud
towering easily over
the tallest buildings

They were a shield,
a protection, guardians
of the universe
earth's newest champions
in times without heros
when wars against one
another became moot
as imagined threats
became larger then
movie screens...

He was silver & blue
a work of art
fashioned from the
hands of man, surely
but no less beautiful
his eyes were diamonds
staring out from
his immobile face
shadowed by thick ridges
of brow, glinting in the sun~
from any vantage point
I could easily see him

Like his brothers, he
was merely a vessel
in need of a pilot
A puppet for destruction
at the whim of powers
that be,
I'd always wanted to
get inside, discover
his inner workings
bring him to life
& see if beneath the
cold steel of his
breast plate,
there echoed a soul
in need of rescuing

merely childish fancy
I know...

Tonight, with no moon
his eyes, the only beacon
in the night casts it's
lonely glow over the city
& I hope with all my heart
he sees me too, for
I've always admire them...

this is a point of view that I like very much. . .I've always had a soft spot for the steely guys, and this is why. . .

well done. . .
