The Old Building

A piece of luggage

A gargoyle sat

Protecting flowers sprung the week before

How a creature so ugly could nurture something more

This form of new life compels me

 

The plants were kept alive by the passing time

Wind remaining at bay

And the waters that lay

Atop the old building

 

On my travels through life

The drain pipe tunnels the guise

The journey of my eyes

Up towards the old building

 

I feel light

Vertigo getting to me

Leave it be

Amongst power I am weak

    This poem seems almost surreal with much symbolism here. Nicely written
