There Lies Art

Reds shoot out from under my skin 
infuriating a melancholy world 
yellow with presumption 
in an otherwise blue mood 

Envy fills their void 
as I avoid being left out of the light 
an oak growing stronger eventhough 
the sun has been stolen by greed 

The need to spin exceeds 
the force of nature and I'm 
relegated to rescue not only you, 
lost with an overabundance of color 
in the darkness, but all that is good 

Creating art out of leftovers passed by 
Beauty exists in all that meets the eye

Art this not a truly amazing poem? Art is beauty, as can be seen through the ages and is timeless. Why Art is humanity! This poem should be in a museum!! I am sure Darren art with me on this one!

That is beautiful, I can never see the word art anymore without its double meaning, and neither does Art, I see. And the both of you created little masterpieces, independent from each other. 7.

Nobody should be left out of the light...and Beauty indeed exists in all that meet the eye.From leftovers of colours representing emotions above...A masterpiece can still be produced..and a life story created...Loved this .Tim.
