Veil of the Unmoving
She steps where marble breathes in time,
A ghost of silk, a living rhyme.
Pearls fall like prayers upon her skin,
A vow between what was and is within.
Stone queens avert their ancient eyes,
Their lips are sealed with centuries.
They know this truth, though carved in grey:
What lives must pass, what moves must stay.
Her gown is fog, her boots are law,
She walks the line gods once withdrew.
Not bride nor saint, not flesh alone,
But breath reclaiming blood from stone.
Inside the hall, the statues wait,
Hands frozen mid-forgiveness, fate.
Outside, the sea repeats her name,
A silver tongue, a widening flame.
Wind lifts the veil, the past gives way,
Rigged masts bow low across the bay.
Empires rust, but she endures—
Not pure, not soft, but self-assured.
She is the pause before command,
The open palm, the closed demand.
Where history ends and myth begins,
She stands—unruled, unruined, unthin.
And marble learns, though carved to last:
The future moves.
The veil is cast.
