The Elixir of Life

From dark walls springs Ball of fire,illuminating The deeper parts to uttermost parts. Like the rising sun, re- kindles hope. Radiates afar off-from the heart's horizon. A wellspring from a brook- the soul nourishes. Sheathing sword of aging Unravels secrets of longetivity. The elixir of life,dew that quenches thirsty souls. A magnetic and contagious force repelling sadness from despaired minds. Can't be bought,bribed or stolen. If you need the elixir of life,learn from MONALISA!

Interesting work about a painting..I saw on a TV special how that the Monalisa is actually the male artist's portrait made to look like a woman..Of course, I did not know whether to believe that or not..I can understand the sly smile if that is the case..Ha!! Ha!! Thanks for stopping by.Sara

I'm marveling at this piece's form. Its subject-matter, the way it flows and ends are compelling."
