Forever and ever

Frozen in supplication

Praying for release

_______________________

Frozen green

Moss covered

Stone statues

*

Forever and ever

Kneeling in

Supplication

Baring themselves

_______________________

Covered in moss, frozen in time

Simple men supplicating themselves in prayer

Statues set in a green field

For a monument to pious men

Created by monks as a memorial

Statues of Buddha, are they hollow

About the Creator

Mother Combs

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.

    Oooo, are they hollow? That's food for thought! Loved your poem!

  • Made light through the gift of meditation, or heavy bearing the memories & hopes of so many?

    The last line really says a lot. It makes you think
