Art Gallery Vibes

o what emotions stirred
the colours and hues
the contrasts and textures
the splashes and strokes

artists expressing it all
serenity and madness
gentleness and vulnerability
passion and violence

letting it surface
like a bubbling stew
for the sake
of communicating

and contributing 
unique perspectives
leaving their mark
on life’s journey

Line, this is a wonderful expression of the mystery of that "IT", that something, that suspends the moment and draws us into a painting/picture. Nicely done. Thanks for entering the contest

WoW! Such concise, yet expansive poetic expressions, Line. This poem rocks! My daughter is a gifted artist, so quite naturally I was drawn to the poem's title. It blew away my humble expectations. Grand Louvre poetry ... star bright write. May the love light your path always.
