Ruins

The sun comes up.
The light shines down
On these ruins.

This once-proud town.
These once-strong symbols
Now are ruins.

The light shines through
The broken walls
Of these ruins

The walls half stand
Holding on to their strength
Though they are ruins.

The sadness is past.
It's all history
In these ruins.

Testaments to strength
And to defeat of strength.
Ancient Ruins.
