Between the Lines

Pillars of rusty marble

Windows with cracked wooden frames

A staircase that’s been walked on for a hundred years

A statue embodying our golden history

A wall whispering the words of our silent past

And a garden like that of the King’s castle.

In the midst of it all a beautiful lady,

Young, heavenly and eccentric

Every smile kindling a scintillation of her surroundings

Every soft step resuscitating the forgotten

Every breath giving meaning to what’s been lost

In a transcending world we live in today

Try not to oversee the stories in our antiquities

Because sometimes the deepest secrets

Are found by looking beyond the exterior
