Memories Statue

Memories Statue

A Poem by Dave W.
"

Be are all building monuments in our lives....

"
Laments statute erected, 
memorial to the past, 
regularly visited and maintained. 

This monument to failure, 
mistaken words written and spoken, 
are a chiseled epitaph, 
emblazoned at its base.  

How long of a shadow it casts, 
features worn by time and tears. 

 A cold look from dead eyes judges silently, 
it's existence says it all, 
I suppose I could tear it down, 
but then I would lose my past and forget, 
no I think I will tend to it just a bit longer...…
