stained ivory columns
of fortitude
everlasting strength
express's the history
their once lived a domain
of a great culture.
polishing their beauty
embossed for all time
they are not forgotten
and now founded
as a buried bottle
of remnants for the future
astonishment
the yellowish stone
an outstanding man- made dream
of prevailing in permanence
finds of great artifacts
reveal mans greatest
accomplishments
by hand creativity
beauty beyond compare
amazement of the find
of Petra
