clouds gather to sea
what monster has grown
depression in me

chip stone from my face
reveal what's concealed
a smile in its place?
or a burning black field?

I'm worn out from the storm
my features are fading
stone's not reborn
so why am i waiting

are statues soul-less?
am i a stone fate?
Who's love could true hold this?
While i sink in a lake... [comments] => 4 [counter] => 201 [topic] => 64 [informant] => In_a_While [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => ambiguous )

Oh my, I love this.
What a lovely thought...of being a statue.
I adore that first stanza.

Great write,
Phil

Quite an imagination. I often seek out writes such as yours. Very different and enjoyable to boot.

Your ability to add life to your thoughts is a plus sign for your talents. The subject itself is unique, and the way you handle it shows imaginative genius.

Try, as I did, I could never get seriously wrapped up in the picture you were trying to put across. I just kept thinking of what birds do to statues, and could never picture myself as one. Maybe I should have got off the mower a couple of hours earlier.

Cheers
John
