THE ARTIST’S WAY* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *You can write into the air. You can speak upon a page. A painting can be a novel. A story can paint the perfect picture. Dance can express deep emotion. Emotions can stir deep movements with a chance observer. We dream in deep metaphors and visual puns. We weave them into stories that speak to our very souls. Artists tell those stories with or without words. That is the artist’s way. *Note: Poem originally written for Pen Women Magazine, a publication for the members of the National League of American Pen Women (NLAPW) 9/27/23.
