What do you reckon Venus of Milos was doing when she was fully limbed?

  What do you reckon Venus of Milos was doing when she was fully limbed?  

Was she thinking 
Deep thoughts
Holding the apple
Measuring the gravity 
Of her life? 


Was she, like Aphrodite,
Poised with a shield 
About to march off 
Into a battle
Confidence writ on her face? 

Was she a Muse 
Putting on her work clothes
Getting ready to go 
Inspire some artist
To create works of beauty? 

Was she Sappho
The Poetess
reaching out for her pen 
to finally complete 
one of her poems?

Was she spinning a wheel 
To make a tapestry of Dreams
Or to weave time
Winding and unwinding
Moments lost and found? 

Was she playing a Lyre
Singing timeless songs 
Of loss and triumphs
Great loves and heartbreaks
And exciting adventures?

Or, dear reader, 
Was she just a woman 
Like you and me
Trying to go about her life
The best she can?
