Gaze Upon Bemusement

In almost drowning, I swallowed the thought Of colors in bubbles and pride well caught The constant concrete fear at my feet Shackled and dragged me down to the deep Oblivious uncertainty caused me to yearn And showed me how much I’ve yet to learn You dipped me in rainbows of gentle stokes grim You’ve filled me back up and forced me to swim While teaching no limits when I wanted to fly Embraced my mind and opened its eye You’re the goddess of inspiration and prowess The SOS before my call of distress You’ve washed me in color, in doing so, raised me Authentically molded, repainted and saved me An awe inspiring greatness so gallant In turn, I thank you for sharing a talent that marveled emotions and left them dazed And promised a future that’s yet to amaze Quite frankly this gesture has left me wide open I’m blown and bemused by art honestly spoken
