Beautiful Woman
by Pam H. Murray
Movement captured in marble,
Attitude captured in stone,
How many years must this beautiful woman
Stand in the square alone?
Where did the magic imprisoned
Meet its original birth?
Was there a girl coerced by an artist
Living somewhere on this earth?
Or was it a dream, just imagined
From longings that passed long ago?
I wish I knew her beginnings.
Is she shy of the people below?
Does she feel cold on her shoulders?
Was she once looked on with shame?
Who is this beautiful woman?
Do you remember her name?
