Art a Poem

Art,
like a cleansing and purging of the soul,
it can drain you of poison, toxins, negative thoughts
and help you find release, relief, and hope.
Looking or creating, we become someone different, someone stronger
and bolder.

Art is neither good nor bad, something to be scrutinized exploited, contained or blamed.
We are creators of our own truths.

We do not lie in fields of heather to pretend we are done.
No, we become part of the whole,
one violet piece of heather, one amongst millions.

We are Art incarnate,
existing to grow,
to become something better than living.

We are alive!
We create life on the palette,
on the ten-pound,
on the canvas and on the heart.

Art expresses love, fear, strength, passion
– all things within and out.
The freedom to express ourselves, to shine as no other, to make our mark on the world,
to share our Self with others,
is divine.

Art is not lonely, but connects us to others in a spiritual realm.
We find passion experienced in no other way.
