i have seen this picture before – i have always associated it with other things – thank you for opening my eyes to a different meaning. it is perfect. Reply
Thank you so much. I kind of like this picture as a piece of art as well although I hadn’t seen it before. Reply
Actually, I found the picture afterwards. When I use pictures, I generally write the poems first and then add a picture that seems to fit the words. Reply
