Gathering Dust

In a well guarded place for two hundred and eighteen years hangs a painting that is rare and revere but so well persevered The work is oil on white Lombardy poplar panel when years ago a candle would show her glow and enigmatic pose A mysterious smile that will make you sit and stare for awhile having the most writings and songs about her in the Louvre of Paris she is their heiress No matter her age or where she may hang over the years at times she has gathered dust The Mona Lisa is still the worlds most mysterious a creation of Da Vinci's innermost piece.
