This gold-leafed illuminated calligraphic print shows one of my first poems written in 1966. The artist was my sister Elizabeth Emerson.

This Life of Mine
This life of mine– A history book Of valiant deeds Left undone, Of courageous battles Still unfought, Of worthy thoughts Yet unspoken, Of passionate loves Unrequited, With many volumes still to come. A thousand years shall I wait Till history’s end. Then shall I write The final book Left unread. ©2006 Jadz Morrison |
