Vita Brevis Press. 
Wow👍
We have some talented submitters!
Yes:)
Beautiful and very touching!
It gets better every read!
Short and sweet 😀
Absolutely! We were most drawn to its subtlety and concision!
Awesome. Such a short but great piece.
Christine did an excellent job on this one! We loved it, as well!
Yeah, it’s irresistible.
Great picture (new to me) and the poem does it justice. Excellent.
It’s by Bertha Wegmann–if you like this, I would recommend Edouard Cortes as well–his Théâtre du Vaudeville is excellent!
Excellent! I love finding new-to-me painters. May I recommend your blog post on this one – would that be OK with the poet?
Absolutely–you have our permission, thus the author’s by proxy since she volunteered this piece for the Vita Brevis readership. Make sure to visit her blog as well–she has a fascinating page, and thank you for the support!
Simplicity has a powerful voice. Bravo!
Splendidly beautiful thought!
We loved the reservation in this piece–what’s left unspoken evidently speaks volumes!
Simply stated yet powerfully spoken! Well done! 😀
