Dale Gregory Cozart Poet Free verse

Confessions of a Statue

Ignore me
and know that I am grateful.
See me as a statue
and I'm content.
Leave me to my idyll:
I find more respect in solitude
than compliments.
I know more of love from silence
than from kisses.
I've learned more of human kindness 
from passing strangers
than from people
spouting mindless viewpoints
as though it were the word of God.
