Moving Statues

Moving Statues
break free
existing
Not living
lost inside of thee
Unlock your mind
so thoughts flow
Roam wild
Let it all go
Moving Statues
Stuck in a shell
Open you mind
no longer dwell
living minds
crimson tide
Break this shell
you live inside
Moving being
soulful inside
dreams and blessings
wisdom and guides

it is not clear to me what "moving statues" the poet is chanting about. "The phrase, "Moving Statues" sees to be an oxymoron.. But I like the tum-ti--tum-tum -drum beat and intoxicating mesmerism of this chant. This poem , in my opinion, is a fair example of the use of pathetic fallacy. and appears to be an essay on, or exhortation of the "alter ego" or inner-self .

RE: Moving Statues

It is about moving statues, People that exist but do not live... It is about people who have lives where they live daily doing the same thing over and over without stopping for a minute to follow their dreams, take risks, or be spontanious.
It is also about people that live along side technology and do not have the time to listen to the trees and nature, Feel the breeze of summer floating on the air...
