Artistry

Water trickles through the chambers of life,
Relentlessly, as living things – will be!
Insistence, that has never leave to die,
Resisting questions, every reason why.

Artistry the analysis of strife,
Contesting every motion that it sees.
Enquiry, the bravest asking why?
Behaviour, the audacious need to try.

Love, the most courageous gift – relentless,
In devotion. Love the binding paste of
Universal things. Let not one breath be
Spent devoid of consideration and –

Thus water, life and artistry combine,
To realise a loving so sublime!

Life emerged from the Earth's oceans and we should be grateful for having such a beautiful planet. Artistry is such a great gift -- one given to you by the Creator. I love the way you tie your thoughts together in those last two lines. Very nice, David! Love, Carolyn
