Angkor Wat 2009

Your spires reach out to heaven

like hands in prayer.

Your silence is poetry

as chants are silenced in your halls.

Your arches welcome souls looking for answers

in the riddles carved in your walls.

You hide your beauty behind the shadows

but demand devotion.

You embrace the land that bore you

yet yearn to be with the sky.

You reward those whose patience wait

for that brief moment when you reveal your heart.
