The abdication of the ebony king, part 2

Large painting around a small poem I wrote:

The ebony king abdicated
when captain nature lost its ship
& the smell of roses became
a far-away memory
painted on the walls of a hidden cave
patiently waiting on a sudden discovery

August 23, I get this collage from Anete Ulmane in Latvia

So close by the smell of roses became a far-away memory!
