You are still and immobile in copper
With a lantern in your hand
And a smile that radiates calm.
Always in the garden always present,
Always there.
You look at me.
You are content to be my permanent copper boy
In place of a boy with a beating heart who is no longer here.
I leave you to go on with my daily life and you understand.
You don't disapprove.
You wait until the next time you see me.
You have patience as you have an eternity of a copper boy with a lantern.
Life goes by.
You wait patiently year after year in your rose garden.
You wait in fragrant bloom, in winter frost, in autumn foliage, and in spring awakening.
You are waiting until the next time you see me greeting you with a lantern.
