       Faces of Stone
         Cold Stone
          Staring
      Constantly at you
       Eyes wide open
    Looking straight ahead
Nothing to fear, but fear itself
     Not afraid of death,
    For stone doesn't die
        Just reforms
       It sits there
          Watching
      Generations go bye
     Watching people die!


I'm a dying romantic and when i can no longer write i can no longer live -Jeremiah Johnson-

I really enjoyed this.
Maybe a deeper analysis isn't necessary today.
I agree with the idea that a statue may see.
For all time in which it exists, it witnesses our lives passing by.
Without a thought as what it feels.
Kind of like knowing teddy bears can see.
I'm positive in inanimate things still "being".


everyday is a new day; forget the past, remember the future.

A stark and striking image, Havoc! Very original angle. You have a unique vision there, young man! I would say "glad you're back" but since I have no clue since when you're back, I will refrain!

A wonderful poem! Made me think a lot about something I wouldn't have otherwise. Great!



"I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust."

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!
