Dismiss it not
for it is
stone upon rock
rock upon earth,
a firmament
built upon a decade, pouring
strength, sinew, care to stone
desire, tears, and hope its mortar
crafted steady
stone by stone
lashed stone to earth
feel each, ensuring it's solidity
torrential chaos kept
to quiet propriety
best to shelter from storms beyond
what did you see
when you could catch the calm knowing
gaze, fiercely focused
as if it could be hid?
(or in the thousand details
left openly about -
with regard and affectation
towards a greater whole?)
placed upon this monument
dismiss it not
for it was never composed
for recompense or self-serving show
but as testament
that love abides
and should never ask,
but be
