Ruins

Marble people lay forgotten

Ivy creeping up their spines

What was once gleaming silver

Is now tarnished by time


Dust sits undisturbed

Atop yellow and worn pages

No music can be heard

Except the song of silence


Once bright colors

Of blue and green

Torn flags flutter in a whispering breeze

Now dulled from the light of the burning sun

They hang, still alone

Telling a tale of what was

And what they had become
