Break the hush
hear my cry
Cut the chains
sing me free
Fight the fear
call me bold
Take the past
give me now

Just following my muse . . .
Break the hush
hear my cry
Cut the chains
sing me free
Fight the fear
call me bold
Take the past
give me now

Almost like two recombined shorter poems, lovely rhythm to it. An interesting picture as well, old statues are always a bit sad. Maybe its the faces worn by time?

The statue is part of pair in Hyde Park. I’ve always been fascinated by them and I make sure I visit them every time I go to London. One of these days I’ll get around to researching their history. 🙂
The lines hit me out of nowhere the other night. It was weird, but I love it when a poem flies out like its always been there. 🙂

🙂 That seems to be the favorite line overall. It’s strange how the best lines come out of nowhere.

My favorite line is “Take the past/give me now” which seems so fitting for this beautiful figure, trapped in old marble for so very long. I envision her wanting to be set free. A beautiful pairing, once again.

That last line was inspired by something happened to me a few days before I posted. I’ll be writing about it later on next week. 😉

At first glance, I thought the lady in the statue had her leg out, and she was holding onto her toes. 🙂 Once I realized what it actually was, I quite enjoyed it and your wonderful poem. (I still see the leg though if I just glance at it). 🙂

Lol! I can totally see how she might be viewed that way! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed the lines – the inspiration behind them is multi-faceted, both here at home and abroad.
