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
