crowds collect
Light beams through vaulted roofs
filtered through
finds a selected few
halos glint
reflected icon tint...

"this is exactly how it was
a true version of the original,
only its a copy going way, way back"

crowds thin out instead
light becomes a thread
finds a selected one
eyes squint
recognized tarnished tint

"but which one is real
it's is not as it should feel,
look how the artisan
instilled his ways"

so it is when public strays.

Are you real
or memory
still the feel
is you and me
I would think
but thought instead
that you are real
here in my head...



liking this
very much!
as from you
a special touch...

Well done, Martin...this is a good representation of modern life....
there is no loyalty any more, and people buy so many cheap imitations.
