Deity

Weathered effigy in cemetery square,

Stoically residing in decaying flora air.

Guardian angel of guiding luminosity,

Edifying the burial plots with religiosity.

Death embraced with graves open wide

Embalmed and immortalized

Genial arms embrace congregational dead,

Roses nourished from decomposed bed.

Surrounded by forgotten names on stone,

Hailed high upon ivory pedestaled epic throne.

Humanity a preordained unavoidable demise,

Transience soul leeched from corpse eyes.

Time has been harsh to polished stone,

Blemished from raindrops incessant drone.

Even this epitaphic deity resurrected tall,

Likened mortality will crumble and fall.
