The table
An ancient symbol of gathering
Cast your eyes upon me
What do you see
A loving family
Recounting their day
The father his work
The children their play
Friends consuming food and wine
Talking, laughing, much imbibing
Adversaries in tense negotiations
Kingdoms at stake
History in the making
Look upon me
What do you see
It is more a reflection of you
Than it is of me
