Artists Create
Hazy image dwindle slowly
Crystalized vision ebbs in brilliance
Fleeting fantastic random
conscienceness
Moments as these flow through
stimuli nerves and reverberate
throughout soul's tuning fork
Epiphanies spark to move mountains
Pens were wielded... armed with
brushes, canvas, and scroll
Artists create
Artists create in vivid textures
Capture feeling in aesthetic
Make still life as it moves
Reorder chaotic human nature into
sublime lines and stanzas
Impacting even slightly rewards
immeasurably...
Artists create to remind of the past and fond.
To enlighten with images never seen...
creating realities beautiful quilt
provoking thought...inspiring
Artists create to overshadow the ugly...
to encapsulate pain, swallow and destroy it.
Artists create to shout louder than hate,
drowning it out with melody
Artists create to take that hate and deconstruct it,
break it into pieces, and make mosaics
Artists create to make others stop,
if even for a moment....to embrace
the life that swirls around them,
within them....
in all of us
