1429

[Henri Rousseau, La Promenade dans la Foret (The Walk in the Forest) (c. 1886), oil on canvas; courtesy dVerse Poets Pub]

 Treasure

“We salute you Gentle Rousseau you can hear us,

Through the noise of modern day styles,

Set to canvas enduring,

We meditate beside your palette of colours and textures,

Bearing in mind,

That greatness is recognised in your passing,

Leaving behind for us treasure

    Indeed, forests are full of treasure, Gillena, waiting for artists and poets to capture it in their work to leave, in turn, for others to discover as treasure.

    Art is indeed treasure, especially that which inspires to look deeper into nature.
