Dirty Mary

I believe she describes herself.

Dirty Mary

Dirty Mary stands forlorn,
alabaster guardian, forgotten,
marking the slumbering life
beneath her feet.

Grime outlines her once-lovely features,
contrasts her stone-cold skin.
No one notices the forgotten hollow
assigned to her watchful care.

Come Spring, they'll notice,
when life bursts forth from
dampened loam, exciting
colors beneath her gaze.

Then warmth will dry the
filthy etchings, as they
fall free into the wind, and
she will be clean again.

Redeemed --
for yet another season.

DWD 07

Spring does come in dirty and come out clean.

Extraterrorestrial Beings v4 by RickthePoetWarrior

Our heroes are revealed for all they are, the final flash of a dying star, for with this pen I do they mar, with hopes I leave ‘em all a scar.
