I dwell within myself like a folded red rose, 
lost in serene tranquility of the gallery;
and I roam the many rooms of art-   a girl alone,
among the glow of the old masters;
with color pigments and brush strokes beautiful,
and painted images and scenes inspirational.

This isn't the first of your poems that I've read Constance that references an art gallery and that deals with the theme of loneliness. It's beautifully written and I can see and feel the 'glow' of colours you describe.

Gary, thanks for the compliment, I do love the art gallery and the art, and actually prefer to go alone because I like to linger, am I lonely, probably ~ love and tranquility _Constance
