This is a dedication to all the ancient buildings in the world.

As I imagine your walls surrounding me

I look up and admire the ancient engravings

Etched in the stone

 

I see shades of colour

And I think how magnificent you must have been

And who stood inside you all those years ago

 

I allow my thoughts to wander

And as I do I spied objects people loved

In jars of all shapes and sizes

Everything is so vivid

As though I am looking at you as people

did in ancient times.
