Castle with Sun

A Goddess Once
By Neil Ellman
Response
Where a fortress stood
Beside the alien sea
Arrogant towers
Turrets pointing
To the sky
As if in prayer
Defend their gods
And goddesses
Their pride.
There is nothing left
Only stones
Weathered by time
Where worshippers walked
To kneel
Submit and plea
A goddess
Glorious and magical
Whose face and voice
Are now erased
By wind.
The sun still rises
As empires die
As deities die
Where their fortress stood.

Mmmm … mysterious and intriguing. Love both pieces – thank you!
The image and the poem both take me away to another time and bring me back again to wonder at it the journey.
