Description
[The Louvre in Paris, France]
Hailed by her creator as a masterpiece…
A summit in his lifelong craft,
she’s now barely noticed in passing time
Only approached for a fleeting chance
by astute observers of a former kind
Those who care have long since passed,
her maker’s love since long resigned
Timeless, she bears witness to generations
bustling to purportedly more fulfilling works of art,
ones believed to disseminate a greater sense of culture
that she can never hope to impart
The role she shares, unknown,
defined alone in viewers’ minds
Our reality will never be her own,
by nature of intelligent design
Unchanging but for dissolution of her stone,
the maker’s hand since long resigned
Posed on a pedestal, the grand stage,
the epitome of pageants for works of art,
she yields to quintessential La Joconde
and mystic wisdom she imparts.
Her nose, her face, once beauty of old,
Have left her now as no divine
What value does such work behold,
but that assigned by those inclined?
Ages pass with judgements told,
despite their makers’ death, resigned.

I’m by no means a talented writer, but I couldn’t keep from pondering the significance of art upon capturing this photo of one of the statues in The Louvre. This was my attempt at portraying what the life of a sculpture must be like, being trapped within a museum with passersby hardly taking notice of some works that were each a result of months or years of their masters' impressive skills. This scene got me to pondering the significance of art and what it means to each individual, the sort of touchy-feely-artsy stuff I don't always think about when interacting with works.
