I've observed artists

Many rendered me speechless

A rainbow flower.

Painters become artist at their canvas
They won't paint to block out the world
They won't paint with wavering soul
Their ears, their eyes becomes friend inspiring

Dancers who love to dance feel life more fully
They won't dance the dance of loneliness
They won't dance the dance of drowsiness
Their ears, their eyes becomes friend they believe in

Singers sing because music flows from their heart
They won't sing songs suppressing joy
They won't sing songs making them coy
Their ears, their eyes becomes friend with blessings

Drummers drum on anything, anywhere, anytime
They won't drum to chase frustration
They won't drum, calling condemnation
Their ears, their eyes becomes friend that leads to the Master

The painter, the dancer, the singer, and drummer understood
The poetry of art surpasses words
The natural rhythm of innocent humorous hearts is art.
