Scraping the Sky

 


Towering sentinels of inspiration,

What do people feel in your presence?

Are they awe-struck by your visage,

Long shadows covering the Earth?

Are they jealous of your elegance

masterfully dressed in glass and stone?

Do they feel the sway, magical and fearsome,

As the wind caresses you in powerful bursts?

Do they wonder at your majesty 

While standing on your shoulders?

Are they proud of how you emerge 

From the crowd when seen from afar?


Or do they, like me, recognize the imagination

That created you from nothing?

Do they stand at your feet mesmerized

At your effortless beauty?

Can they look up and find their dreams 

Amongst the halo of clouds you wear?
