Can you Speak?

O Graceful One! Carved on a piece of Rock!
Break your silence now and talk!
Tell us of all that you would have heard or seen?
How many years on this rock have you been?
Who were they who created you?
Were they like us or a special few?
They must have been people like you and me ...
But with a vision - for beauty is all they could see!

You have captured the exact sentiment I felt during the Hampi-trip. It was a weird feeling (I don't know how else to describe it!). Just imagine what all they must have witnessed, cried at, felt happy about.
Loved the way you put it in a poem!
