Poem – Art

No matter what … listen to the artists of this world.
They show us what matters, and they help us uncurl.

Life is hard but artists have a key.
They help us see beyond what is just you and me.

Artist show us beauty that is trying to form.
They show us the power that is in a storm.

They remind us that we can be so much more.
They show us the horror when we try to even the score.

They are here to point out when and how things go awry.
They allow us to see that it is okay to cry.

Art is the song that comes out from our heart.
The one that got lost, when someone tore us apart.

Art is the voice that inspires us to look above.
The expression of art is the ultimate proof of self-love.

Art is the caress of a lover’s hand across your face.

Art is the hope of God’s amazing grace.

Art is a mirror that shows us what we could be.
It is all of nature from a cliff to an enormous tree.

Inside you is an artist yet to shine.
You are just waiting for something inside to align.

Art is a force that sees beyond the façade.
Artists call out ego and fraud.

The braver you are the more of an artist you become.
Then you allow yourself to be the hammer that beats a drum.

Artists are loud, obnoxious, and can be in your face.
If that is how God made you then it is time to take your place.

The world is molded by the dreams of artists with strong arms.
Pounding away at those things that cause suffering and sounding alarms.

Art tells us more about a culture in those moments in time.
Art is the songs, the rhythms, and amazing rhymes.
