Abstract

Why does the artist paint pictures
Why does the poet write both convey
Thoughts for everyone and sometimes
They themselves do not understand why
This drive this urgency to tell a story on
Canvas or left on pages as each uses his
Gift his soul to bring some sense to this
So called normal state of living we define
For ourselves each day so that perhaps there
May exist a sanctuary somewhere away
From it all where we can concentrate on
A focal point that is stationary and is in
Proper perspective and blind folds do not
Cover what is but first you have to realize it
All depends upon the way you see the picture
And read the words that beckon our minds our
Hearts to bring some kind of tranquility where
It is impossible to find
