Statue of a Fool

I saw a statue made of stone. That gave me looks of one alone. A man with eyes that I had known. through thoughts inside to me he'd shown. His answers true; to questions false. Ones greater fears within the waltz. And at great shame will flinch and flicker For in great lies come answers quicker. He'll stand in silence surrounded by thought Trading bliss for ignorance; keeping peace at trot. And in my calm; I see his beauty. His attention fleeting; his thoughts; his duty. My eyes are wandering void of expression. As things are clearer and centered direction. I see him again as something to watch Inanimate object; a thing; a crutch.
