The Three Muses Challenge - Windows and/or Doors

Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice

In the church where a wedding has been.

Lives in a dream.

Waits at the window

Wearing a face that she keeps in a jar by the door

Who is it for?

All the lonely people, where do they all come from?

All the lonely people, where they do they all belong?

Lyrics from the beautiful and thoughtful Beatles song "Eleanor Rigby"
