MUTE...

art by Salvador Dali


Mute

Some ever quite thing
I would that I could be,
A window through whose opening
You look upon the sea-

Some inanimate bit
You cherish day by day,
Having constant need of it
Forever in your way.

A song that makes you glad
A picture on your wall,
Some unfeeling thing that had
No need of you at all.
by Julia Van Norman

Ooooh...oy. This combination of poetry and artwork just takes my breath away, Sissy.

That poem is so thought provoking. At first I just thought it was cute, til I took in the meaning. My sissie-friend YOU are like that window, showing us other places, wonderful glimpses of the life within. To be cherished by us all. Me especially. :=}
