My Vercingetorix

Standing in the Shadows

Of my oldest basement,

Poised at the threshold

You watch

Are you waiting

for me to take your hand

Or are you waiting

to step forward?

Hidden in the Depths

Of my earliest underworld

You Breathe

Your presence Strong

Like a Scent

Ancient battles, Ancient

Victories, until the Final

Inevitable defeat

The Odds so Uneven

You tried, You Believed

You Remain

For all of us who Fight

Invincible

the defeated warrior

Singularly Victorious

 My Fallen hero

You Stand

  1. Magical combination with the painting. The poem is strong in its simplicity. Modest in its intentions reminding
    us to be humble.
