Ode To The Artist

what is an artist? nature is light and the artist is but a smart prism it may take years to grind it to a rainbow shine he is a wizard or witch who works with a paint and brush pinning the world down to mere colours and strokes within the spread of his hands someone who helps us see the world with some feelings and thoughts if we havent had them Someone who shows us how the world can be squeezed, circled, squared off, bound, tied, bombarded to suit our artistic bent Someone who shows us how a moment can be condensed in the flick of a second or a few hours to justify the worth of art someone who thinks the world should be thicker in colours, broader in shape and slicker - that silence in itself speaks more volume someone who is an instrument of nature to unveil to us the number of faces she could have nature's make up man nature's alter ego; someone who shows us how Narcissistic nature can be when it comes to framing him on a piece of paper Someone who helps us go into the heart of nature nature is light and the artist is but a smart prism
