Is Art
Art is how
I am at three o'clock in the morning when
the words and the pictures wake me up.
Art is what
I am feeling when I look at a painting and my heart
reaches up into my throat.
Art is what's
experienced when my fingers touch clay
and I feel it sing inside of my head.
Art's the
irresistible force that reaches up and surrounds me
when I walk down a country road.
Art is that
breath that catches in my throat when I
gaze up at the silent mountains around me.
Art represents
many things to many people, for me
it is the bare essence of my soul.
Art is my life's
breath and blood, mingled with my
tears, sweat, and the joy of all my most secret dreams.
Art is that
which I possess while I am wandering
through it; not what I have when finished.
Art is intangible,
but it is as real as the air
that rushes in and fills my questing lungs.
Art is life,
but better still it is the ability
in the world to see that life is also an art.
