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.
