"i AM YOUR ICON" by martinsea

I AM YOUR ICON
YOUR IMAGE OF PERFECTION
TO REFINE AND REGIMENT YOUR HEARTS
AND AWAKEN MORTAL PRIDE

I AM YOUR ICON
ESSENTIAL AND COMMANDING
MY WORDS WRITTEN INS TONE
AND BOUND IN GOLD

AND YET
AS I TRY TO STAND AGAINST NATURE
MY VEGETATIVE ENEMY
AND I KNOW
THE VISAGE OF MY GLORY WILL CRACK
AND MY POWER WILL BREAK

MEN MAY STILL LIGHT CANDLES
BUT SHE
STRONGER AND MORE SUPPLE THAN I
SHE SHALL PREVAIL
ETERNAL LIKE THE WATERS

A reworking of Mr. Yesterday's ICON
All additions, subtractions & variations most welcome !
