The Infinite Shades of Art

You can keep your brushes and pastels, my friend Just give me the word and tell me when to begin And I'll paint the prettiest picture the world has ever heard With amazing depth of field and colorful words But if you're color deaf no need to feel alone You'll be dazzled by my selection of rhythm and tone Abstract and romantic, the techniques are plenty Forever changing portrait until the passion runs empty Behold the gift of art and the pleasure of expression Colleges or graduate schools could never teach the lesson The gift lies within in the very depths of the human soul And the world is the inspiration for the masterpiece that you hold An artist by any other name is still an artist through and through No matter the words or colors, free verse or light blue Everyone is connected by the same purpose given at birth To create a work of art on this blemished canvas we call Earth
