Perhaps it will seem to you that the sunshine is brighter and that everything has a new charm. At least, I believe this is always the result of a deep love, and it is a beautiful thing.
— Vincent Van Gogh
The Egyptians left
their pyramids,
the Romans their
public works,
the Greeks left
temples for
their deities,
the Persians
left palaces.
I am no
stoneworker,
will leave
no standing legacy,
just a heap
of heart rocks
beside the river
and all that enormous
space around them.
The “heart rocks” rock. Such a fitting clue to the space that surrounds them. I like the cultural monuments you line up before the true monument appears.
Oh! Yay!
“no stoneworker,” yet you work to leave heart stones, and are even wise and crafty enough to remember “…all that enormous/space around them.”
you ain’t a-foolin’ me, missy. i know better….
