Wonder which language the ancient monuments speak
Once grand and glory of an Age they survive the onslaught of time
Many mysteries are whispered by the walls, remain still in oblivion
Not all the stories have been narrated and those spirits await liberation
Narratives remain relevant forever as eternity carries them
Listen to the murmurs of the mountains and impatience in surrounding winds
Echoes between the peaks hold lessons from ancient worlds
Some voices may have been silenced prematurely
Soul-stirring experiences of love, passion, anger, jealousy, greed, and deception
Walls and chambers of crumbling citadels still has the foundations
Surviving the test of time to endure chastisement of karmic deeds
Glorified tales of the benevolence of power may have been lies
Magnificence stands naked, stripped of the ostentatious display of arrogance
Walls create divide and souls cannot carry the burden of egotism
Heavy aroma of contempt of life still lingers to remind of transgressions
Many emotions may have been extinguished before blossoming
Who can dare to listen to the mixed chorus of pain and apathy?
Tales of unfulfilled desires, agony of suppressed truth threaten doubtful grandeur©
Oh, the last four lines…just beautiful and reached into my soul. xx
