Monuments I have stood long, in the shadows of monolithsMonuments by ~FaceInTheSand
And watched as time cloaked them all in myth
Their beauty wrought, from the rock where I stand
Carved by sculptors who too had broken hands
Could I ever make such a monument,
Or a simple cairn of that same stone?
Anything that could stand as testament,
Some small edifice, I could call my own?
And if one day, I look at my work with pride
Then on that day, lay my tools down by my side
Then leave me there, underneath what I have made
As I realise, it is better to be in the shade
Could I ever leave you a monument
And lay a cairn of that same stone?
Anything that could stand as testament
