To Which Image Shall We Cling
What will you cling to
When the art is letting go
Cling to nothing
Tarnish not the vision
Of the artist
Not the viewer of his art
Cling not
To what it might have been
Nor what it is
To you
At present
It will change
With each sun-teased shadow
Alter its depth
With the passage of time
So cling not
To what you would have it be
Nor to what it once was
Close your eyes
And let it become
Yours…now
