Together They Stand

Not judged in reference
   kindred spirits they dance

The words once they’re spoken
  notes and palettes enhanced

The music enlivens
  what phrases will say

While a painting embodies
  what verse can convey

And the only conflict
  is in the critics eye

Who sees not the harmony
   but comparisons lie

As all art travels skyward
  enjoined hand in hand
	
To the source of its power
  —where together they stand

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
