National Gallery of Art; Johannes Vermeer's "Woman Holding a Balance", c. 1664

                        In this quiet contemplation       comes this sincere, timeless question
If gold ‘n’ light should shine so brightly       why should it be they seek to spite me?
                                    Is it true we seek to find           just what we need for peace of mind?       “to give a life does not come cheap”     we say most often on repeat
’til judgement comes from up above    let us be judged by what we love
