Copper Patina

Hammered edges of metal, smooth and worn
artistic vision born in burnished sunshine
aged by epoch time and turning weather
until the shine dulled to that familiar patina hue

They’ll never know the brilliance of the original
They’ll never know that polished russet sorrel
that blazing fire glinting against the sun

Yet still unbowed, unbroken, majestic
