A ruined statue by the water
Submitted by Naergon on August 6th, 2023
Eyes opened wide that see ghosts, bare,
Chipped shield,scared face and broken arm
Marred skin and blooded strands of hair
Deep waters mirror no old charm
They show a figure, huge,distorted
Where lines fade,twist and bend and drown
Like deeds and hopes that look now thwarted
As morning fades your starry crown
Once mighty shining marble wonder
Now mossed and mudded mundane rock
A sundered heart forever under
A breastplate made of dirty chalkNew day dispels the night's 'reflection,
Last mercy over a broken dream
Dispelled's both glory and perfection
Like stars in water's short lived gleam
