Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
Chiseled Face
As I face the face on the wall,
Its chiseled, geometric form
At great odds with my rounder fall
Of jaw, cheekbones, wavy hair, crome
Colored eyes, show me a wall
Of grey sheets, strong, heavy
In its ability to crawl
To adventures in imagination’s wavy
Thought process, while the wall
Is 2D, unmoving, emotionless in prestine
Condition for a crazy ball
Where all that’s required is his presence, fine
In looks but empty for no thoughts on the wall
Except surviving, not living, and weathering
The changes in environments, a call
That brings out the eco-protector to come dancing.
As the writing on the face of the wall
Is eroded with time, so the face’s identity
Is erased like dust in a breeze that will
Hold you into its warmth and fly into memory.
