A Painted Muse

The lonely willows weep, Streaming a river of tears. Under the Giverny skies, The water lilies dance, Atop the glossy surface. Reflections of peace, For the creator. The Japanese bridge arches, Posing as a lonely muse For the gifted soul of Claude Monet. ____________________________________________ "Bridge Over a Pond of Water Lilies" by Claude Monet
