THAT MONA LISA STRANGENESS IN MY SMILE
Happy New Year to all my dear friends and family, lots of love, Poppy xoxo
“Is the Mona Lisa an 'accurate' representation of the actual human model for the painting? Who knows? Who cares? It's a great piece of art. It moves us. It makes us wonder, makes us gape - finally makes us look inward at ourselves.”

MONA LISA – NAT KING COLE
Beneath an enigmatic smile
the spirit lays so vibrantly
shining bright and lovingly
smile outwardly; smile inwardly
secrets stored to be revealed
delicious and delectable
yet innocence will still prevail
amid the sea of ecstasy
blue eyes cast down to hide the skies
the sun; the moon and all the stars
mirrors of immortal soul
distant depths that seem so far
often inpenetrable; aloof
sometimes but then again
to mete out little bits of truth
weaken the strain and spare the pain
ease the burden of the walk
the path so long; so arduous
a neverending quest for love
dismiss misunderstandings part us
there's more to me than meets the eye
a cliché that befits us all
so never judge the outward cover
for the book beneath is beautiful
love yourself and love each other
give special thanks for this New Year
remember those we left behind
in memories; in clouds of tears
begin again; soon Spring will come
and all things new will spring
that which is born from earth and dust
will rise again; will make hearts sing
there is much sadness in our world
much work still to be done
but be strong for those who are weak
bring hope to hearts; forgive the wrong
it does not matter who you are
we are the same beneath same skies
brothers; sisters; family
me and you; we and I
lay down your arms; lift up your hearts
hug your neighbour; hug your foes
love is born of understanding
free hearts from fear; stamp out all woes
we are strong; we stand together
how happy will this make our Earth
the answer's plain; the answer's simple
let the New Year mean rebirth
cast out the old ways closed in minds
free ourselves to let new in
new ways; new days; new understanding
Happy New Year; let peace begin.

p.s. Seems I did such a good job that a few people think this is the actual Mona Lisa! This is me, my friends and I am immensely flattered. My enigmatic smile suddenly got very big!!!!! 😉
