Castles In Time
Castles, stone monsters that once protected
The Rhine from enemies now unseen
Lie in ruin now offering only
Memories of long past glory
Crumbling walls and stairways that
Lead to nowhere and the great halls
That were once filled with the activities
Of a thriving community where soldiers
Boasted of battles fought and victories won
While feasting on pheasant and fine wines
Merchants peddling their wares and
Damsels sharing their hopes and secret dreams
Now just an empty shell where
Tourists gather for an afternoons fantasy
Dreaming dreams of merriment, conquest, and glory
While the castles silently stand guard in time
