The Chiseled Face of Petra
There are doors but you can’t knock upon them
And if they were opened
There is nothing to see if they did
Just a hollowed out space
Large enough for the width of a door
And no more
Some temples are like this
A dry sandstone and façade and fascia
Not the delving warrens of the tombs of Kings
There is nothing

Life You Chiseled Still Burns the Wound
Sunny aspirations were not meant to be
As cloudy days appended the rainy nights
And mornings arose with darkened skies
Leaving her behind, in shattered dreams
Still she walked, in your abandoned path
Hoping one day you would turn around
But you kept advancing, defying her call
Searching for meaning you never found
Though she was light, you ambled dark
Ignoring the blue sky

Chiseled
Cold looking marble delivering heated forms
Masterful devotion shining a brilliant glow,
Muscular detail showed, extinct from norms.
Depicting mercy and faithful devotion to know,
Chiseled by a man with deliverance to show,
From an earthen treasure, he delivered peace.
Though from a tragedy with spiritual flow,
A masterpiece tells a story that will never cease.
Four souls captured so diligently in art.
Molded
