The Story of a Hero

A statue of a Hero
High upon a pillar
Not to touch
just to admire

Does a statue care?

Stone eyes watching
over me, noticing
from up high
my every movement

Could I give it eyes to see?

A proud statue
Quiet, unrelenting
A quest un-fulfillable
I could never reach

Does a statue talk?

Stone skin, warm heart
Can’t embrace
can't pick up that
What he stared down upon

Could I, by reaching up?

Talk to me Hero
Tell me what you see
Tell me what you know and don’t know
Tell me about you
and tell me what is in store for me
