O Passerby
Know the dust
That rests
Beneath this ground
Once strode the world
Strong and proud

Protecting the lives
Of those he loved
Armed with courage
Sword and shield

Even a good man
Must one day die
Stranger whisper
That I may hear

Say fair autumn
Is coming near
Tell me the sky
Is blue

Ah, the magic of Ancient Greece and its statues that live to represent it! I touched the Temple of Sunion when nobody was looking.

Yes, dust to dust but in the end--I believe: blue skies!

Thanks for sharing your thought-provoker!
