I was awoke this morning by a phone call...that I have been granted a visa to visit the Louvre Museum and Saint-Sulpice in Paris, France...and I couldn't imagine myself in Paris....I went to Paris in the long night and decided to write this...


So Long a Night in Louvre Museum

turning around, the walls sang
trying to run, the bells tolled forlornly
making my way out, Mona Lisa hung, smiling at me
breathing less, the Louvre Museum
is filled with portraits of the men of Darkness
from Leornado Da Vinci,
Cornelius Heinrich Agrippa,
Paracelsus,
Francois Rabelais,
John of the Cross,
Francis Bacon,
Micheal Maier,
to Jacob Boehme
and the deepened smiles
of the world that deft pass them

Wow!What wonderful news to wake up to!! Have a great trip!
-and say hello to my greatgrandmother, painted by Christian Krogh in her early youth carrying a basked filled with fish. She hangs on a wall in the Louvre M. :)
