Joy's Song

Pencils, paints, pens
Implements of impression
Allowing full expression
The opus and the proclamation
Indispensable declaration
Mind's tools, hands employ
Application's imagination
Life's sure joy

Perception's lens
Observe and scrutinize
Speculation's contemplation
Ideas amalgamate and crystallize
Visual refraction
Artistic contraction
Necessary respiration
Life's imagination

Pleasure in observation
Joy in creation
Satisfaction in transformation
Beauty speaking to us
Art speaking through us
Revelation's integration
The Creator's manifestation
Through man's imagination


Written by me a few years ago for a creative writing class...posted in honor of World Poetry Day.

    I *do* believe that art is as necessary as breathing for creative artistic people like you.
