The Secrets of Statues by =Mattiello:iconMattiello:



Wildflower secrets upon
the arms of beloved Gia
are thrown into the faces
of ignorant lovers of self.

Pollen caches upon
hesitant, black statues -
those in thought;
Nubian Thinkers.

Faces change with
the circle of seasons,
releasing curtains
of endless emotions.

immobile - buried
up to their necks,
because all they do
is sit and ponder.

Statues ponder,
but cannot move
and flowers speak,
but we cannot hear.

Listen to the
Nubian statues
and carry
the secrets of life.

Author's Comments

We may listen to the ideas presented by our teachers, government, and others, but who will act?

Black represents the passage of time, hence the use of the ancient civilization, Nubia and the Statue by Rodin called The Thinker.

You must be aware of everything around you. books, movies, regular everyday life, history, etc can teach you many things that is important. don't let it slip by or you'll become the statue in this poem - claimed by the Earth because of your immobility.
