Art Physician
Consider, dear artist, quite carefully,
the subject you seek to eternalize.
Glamorous glories; bright youth so carefree -
these often capture first glance of the eyes.
But if you decide 'pon showy delights,
those feeling such things won't look to your craft.
Their eyes will not rest in their neon nights.
Till they've turned to tears when they've loved and laughed.
A soul seeking art is quiet, alone.
Oft it needs healing from earth's wild ways.
So show it something in honest blue tone.
Solitude, then shared, escapes the malaise.
Passions burn and cool much as does the sun,
Night is your battle; day's already won.
