Museums

I'm burying myself in foreign tongues,

in pages set before my times.

I can't live in todays and tomorrows; 

yesterdays I exist to borrow.

A living exhibition engraved in stone, 

marble, bone and marrow.

What an interesting interpretation. Sounds like a living museum.

Museums and art galleries are interesting places to visit. We can learn much about how life used to be, from paintings and from artifacts from the past. Written works from past generations also shed much light on the way life was lived back then.

The past is fascinating and trying to reconstruct how our ancestors lived is full of interest. Your excellent poem tells of your own interest.
Great work.
Cheers,
