This photo by Veronica Yacono is so epic
I had to write a poem to accompany it
Veronica, I hope in some small way I did your photo justice. Thank you for graciously allowing to share.

Lady Liberty

Lady Liberty's Golden Hour
won’t turn her back on immigrant calls

Lighting the way- her eyes do scour-at her feet the needy will fall

Give me your tired, your poor- huddled masses yearning to be free

Sail upon my distant shore
you can lean on me

As the setting sun lights my torch
Gold tones I'm in my glory

Adorning Hudson River's porch
reminder of ancestral stories

I stand before you- a welcome sight-
symbol of hope and freedom

As each new day turns into night
I welcome you to my kingdom

Liberty
Wracked
upon an island's
history
Douse
welcome's
flame
The game
has changed
Turn away
from past
victory
the huddled
mass
