Acropolis

Ancient fortress, the wind carried to me your silent call,
Commune with your warring deities way deep in my soul.
Rooted among the scarred ruins strewn through the ages,
On thy hallowed ground I stand to pay my humble homage.
Parthenon, implore Athena to shield the shining city
Over whose skylines you kept watch for centuries.  
Like an eagle surveying this Hellenic kingdom
In majestic splendor -  now and forevermore -
Stay regally proud, mighty and strong.
