Art

Art.

Art is the expression of our souls,
The depth of what we know,
Beautiful control released into the unknown
A billion painted galaxies shining to make us
Whole.

Songs.

Songs are the vibrations emanating from our hearts,
The brilliant humble cries of people stretched and torn apart,
Notes like water spilling, overflowing pots of dirt,
Filling up with meaning all the places where we're hurt.

Stories.

Stories are the line that runs from birth and through the grave,
They show us why we're broken and spread hope on all our shame,
Bring peace and understanding, help us see another way,
And remind us of the meaning locked up deep inside our pain.

Dance.

Dance is emotion drawn in motion,
Heart beat rhythm in a swaying ocean,
Passion and fury like a pent up explosion,
Bringing joy to the weak and hope to the frozen.

Pictures.

Pictures are the captured images that hold time captive,
Slowing movement to a stop like piercing light that is refracted.
We keep these monuments in case we ever get distracted,
Remind us to be still and to live wide eyed and enchanted.


So please remember to create the thing inside your soul,
Because we need to hear your voice so we can all be whole.
To find the truth, bring it to light, that is the only goal,
Set off to lands you've never seen, be brave and lose control.
