the steps

A necessary evil
Of a dying existence
Lonely statue on the steps
Watching the world go by.

Followers come and go
Leaders linger in the sun
But she knows the best is yet to come
As she watches the world go by.

Floating in the breeze
Silent, soft, unnoticed
The sun helps warm her icy eyes
Watching the world go by.

Followers come and go
Leaders linger in the sun
But statues are immortal
As I watch the world go by.
