Artist's Soul

In the lines that hold their minds

lay secrets of a thousand years

stories that could tell themselves

round as history does.

Each time inspiration took its place

it would bleed a thousand pasts,

guided by unconscious thought

revealing what we had to face.

In a work an artist tells

his make up of a million souls

to show us how we’ve done

or picture warning bells.

Yet pictures are adored at ignorant stance

and forgotten are the ghosts that talk

and all the time we have for art

we forget about what it holds.

Life as an Artist

Life is as shallow as it is deep

worth none, unless you are an artist.

As an artist you will create

with words at your disposal

or with subtlety that goes beyond

ordinarily normal.

Real artist are those of passion

living, breathing in his art.

When he creates, all will stop, admire

even angels will envy.

Movements are filled in softness

surrounded by an air of grace

while he caresses his work,

gently and rare to human face.

It’s the true artist in all we do

that makes it all a worthwhile dance.
