The Dancer
#WritcoPoemPrompt35
By the flickering light of an ancient lamp,
By the twinkling waters of an ancient river,
The dancer entertains the heathen enemies.
This fascinating history forever etched in stone,
Is a monumental discovery that diffuses through the ether.
The color burst from hardened hearts as men lay down their guns,
The bastions burned and blood on bayonnetes dried.
For when the dancer danced we were so enthralled,
We chiseled into the granite a symbol of peace and love.
