My Maasai Sculpture

I have a companion
in my house
who doesn't talk,
eat, drink or move

No, don't think it's
an apparition
or a television....

....don't think it's
my rusty-aged bicycle
that's about to head
to the recycle
plant.....

Yes, it's my Maasai
Moran sculpture,
beautiful in nature!

Though I eat, drink,
laugh, think and dream,
my companion's 
smile gleams
with radiance that
will last throughout its
sculpture life

A smile that will never
in any single age
turn into a frown,
solemn or angry expression

A smile that
always will be
as steady as the Sun,
and as dazzling
as a rainbow
enveloping a waterfall....
