The Art of Art

I think, once art is defined – it
no longer is art; for the paints
of art should splash from each
canvas...run across the floor, 
to be chased into eternity by
a viewer – 

Despite the fact, that, we have 
a tendency toward borders; 
to dissect and frame all we
find appealing juxtaposed against
that which we hate – unwittingly
rendering sterile what needs remain
fertile throughout its existence – 

No, art must make a painter 
out of every witness;
must be the envy of its
environment, transcending walls,
both interior and out –
to experience art is to touch
Free Will at its omnipotent 
core – thus sensing the unlimited
features of God...

of course – all spectrum are still
only pigments – as God ceases to be
God, the moment He is a render
of man....

Art is to discover, inhabit, let your mind dive in over and over, etc...

Interesting vision of art -- as the limitless boundary. This is something that literature rarely approaches. Great food for thought here, Joe. ~ Munching away
