A Day In the Museum

A Day in The Museum

Who were you, 
witness prized.
In all manner of things
sincere, wise,
Voice hushed quiet
beloved by mankind?
strangely lit by crystal light
you described ad nauseum.
now no longer alive
in cold untroubled quiet 
still as the marbled 
mausoleum

The imperfect blossom 
of ancient wisdom,
Conscience essence,
benevolence kindness
Who's feet felt warm sand
heard rumbling stone 
on a mountain pass
your people pervading 
ancient glade,
breathing wood smoke?
Were you there followed 
by a child's eye, unafraid, 
telling your story
touching minds 
as you now touch mine
