The wonders Of museums Uninitiated cannot Understand Dark night Illuminated Life filled A mother’s love An old woman’s Quiet moment Patient, meditative Reflection Snow-covered land Weary rest Looking within To see the future What she hopes She will see Husband or child Gone Ahead, before Not yet returned From day’s labors Night carousing Lonely watch […]
