"Child with a Dove"
Picasso
A little girl cradles a dove in her hands,
Dressed in clothing that suggests her lifestyle
and the time period she lives in,
she looks at this dove with peacefulness
during a time that may not have been that way
Not only happiness is around her, but perhaps
loneliness too as she is by herself
looking at this dove with peacefulness
during a time that may not have been that way
How are we, viewers of these paintings painted
more than a hundred years ago,
supposed to know what is happening in them?
Hints are left - her eyes, her surroundings, her
clothes, her actions, for us to decipher as best we can
as she looks at this dove with peacefulness,
during a time that may not have been that way
