Cast in bronze, captured
Frozen
Still
Set into motion by the artist
Against my
Will
Fabric pooling in metallic drippings
Supple
Cold
All too aware of the dangers
Lurking
Foretold
No words escape my lips
Oracle
Silence
My prophesies desired yet my lips are
Still
Tense
The sculptor knows not what he’s plays at
Foolish
Arrogant
While I cannot speak the words slide from my tongue
Forward
Slant
My thoughts clatter to the floor
Stepped on
Trample
My warnings are ignored
The Pythian
Sybil

Camellia
piercing winter gloom camellia blooms softly such a lovely sight. In winter, in the arboretum and the yards in our region, camellias blooms. Camellia is a tea family plant with lovely flowers. In Japan, camellias have been painted very frequently. Here is one by me (watercolor).

Achingly lovely
This piece is hauntingly beautiful! It captures the silent oracle's frustration perfectly. The tragedy of unspoken truths and trapped thoughts is so intense. Love the drama! 🌌✨
Nothing is sadder in life than thoughts that are trapped and intentions that are ignored.
Ooh, this one's like a mute oracle trapped in a bronze statue, trying to spill the tea but can’t! The whole vibe of wanting to warn but staying quiet is pretty intense, but I love the drama!
A powerful portrayal of silence and ignored prophecy.
I thought this was going to be an article on art, but IT IS ART. Love the words, the form and the image
