The Art of Sight

The picture Painted by an artist, That pleased my eyes, Took me To the place, Where the artist paints But, I saw the God, there. The music Harmonized by a musician, That entertained my soul, Took me To the place, Where the musician composes But, I saw the God, there. The ballet Performed by a dancer, That energized my life, Took me To the place, Where the dancer dances But, I saw the God, there. The poetry, Crafted by a poet, That enlightened my heart, Took me To the place, Where the poet writes But, I saw the God, there. But I lost myself, As I saw the God, The God of his own world, And a man of Heaven, Who has no eyes, But has only the mind. By: R K Chowdary Jasti @all copyrights reserved 11.01.2013@12.43am

This took me to a place of deep contemplation. Love the repetitive form which emphasises the God permeates all existence, especially the creative/expressive forces. I look forward to reading more of your well-honed verses as much of what I have read so far on this site is of a very amateurish standard and full of glaring grammatical and spelling errors.
