True Art

a painting resonates our own life dreams
this born out of a crazy time of teens 
a sculpture reconstructs a deep fervor 
all grown from a sensory observer 

a song evokes a longing a passion 
encouraging immediate action 
a poem paints and colors a free mind
and sometimes a slow memory rewind 

a book engrosses intimate senses 
breaking down your limiting defenses 
a movie escapes life reality 
transforming an imagination free 

criticism is reserved for family 
they alone turn happy to fallacy

Films are my favourite to get lost in. Especially afternoon showings here, where I may have the place to myself....like Michael Jackson. Love this menu of the arts James.
