Resplendence in Marble

Oh beauty of stone and secret dreams
Weathered by time and natures extremes,
Worshipped in whimsy’s of chimera mind
By dreamers whom love has oft left behind.

Does the poet while searching for verse
Seek out your charm to quell his old thirst,
To pen lissome words that make lovers sigh
Or tightly embrace while softly they cry.

Have ever you stole a secret kiss
From endless hours of times abyss,
To brighten a vigil of lonely years
And lighten a burden of unshed tears.

‘O child of man’s creative desire
That burns his soul with effulgent fire,
Long may you stand, so majestic and pale
While wearing Sol’s gift, a bright golden veil.

A most beautiful write Bobby.
My favourite stanzas are above..
but the entire piece is extremely well written.

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.
