The Infinite Shades of Art
You can keep your brushes and pastels, my friend
Just give me the word and tell me when to begin
And I'll paint the prettiest picture the world has ever heard
With amazing depth of field and colorful words
But if you're color deaf no need to feel alone
You'll be dazzled by my selection of rhythm and tone
Abstract and romantic, the techniques are plenty
Forever changing portrait until the passion runs empty
Behold the gift of art and the pleasure of expression
Colleges or graduate schools could never teach the lesson
The gift lies within in the very depths of the human soul
And the world is the inspiration for the masterpiece that you hold
An artist by any other name is still an artist through and through
No matter the words or colors, free verse or light blue
Everyone is connected by the same purpose given at birth
To create a work of art on this blemished canvas we call Earth
