Gleaming Pieces

Skyscrapers rise up from the earth, splendid.

The minds that went into fashioning the

Gleaming pieces of art are intended

To spark wonder and awe when one can see.

They represent the minds that built these stems,

Sprouting from the heads of the fertile lands:

Solidified thought that remains the gems

Of the skylines that started from clean hands.

These buildings represent the self only.

Each architect envisions the true scene.

They are all alone but far from lonely.

Their minds are active and the window screen.

They peer through their mind’s eye

And feast upon the what, how, and the why.
