marble

There standing strong and tall
one pillar of many with no connection at all
Quietly standing outside the walls
Without its strength the building falls
Try to fathom its purpose of being
Placed on the floor and slid under the ceiling
Hewn from stone and as white as bone
The skeletal structure that protects the throne
Holding the roof without even a moan
Time will elapse from now till then
Alpha and omega beginning and end

Silent
