Art is Work

 


Art is work

worth its weight in gold

the weight it holds in words untold

paint that covers stains in damaged souls

by expressing pain and dreams we hold

art keeps us going when days feel grey and the rains are cold

 

Art is not a choice

we can’t turn off a tap on the inner voice

or divorce the love that flows in our hearts

we can’t part with magic that we find

or dislodge pictures that appear in our minds

art is the fabric that blankets us

keeps us warm when the biting wind cuts

 

Art is therapy, every day, everything, all we do and say

it reverberates in every note you hear

in every song that you play

it holds you near when your closest friend is fear

hugs you tightly when darkness appears

art is the glue that keeps us from falling apart

a sticking plaster on the heart

the shock we need when it feels like life just won’t start

 

Art is a saviour when times are tough

it is a hand offering unconditional love

art is a friend when the world feels empty

be it music, painting, poetry written or spoken

photography, abstract or realist, sculptured moments of frozen emotion

dancers moving like waves on an ocean

it’s all the world in motion 

 

Art is a fire that sparks into life,

an inferno of heart and mind

art is work and the world would be so cold

if it was to be pushed in the dirt, unshown, unheard and untold

by those who see worth only in pound signs

and are blind to the beauty found in artistic rays of sunshine 

 

 

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.
