Sometimes I write about art and writing to get the creative juices flowing. Often I’m penning a pep talk to myself and before I know it, my rambling is an ok piece on its on.
Art
Why because I am alive
Art is always happening
Songs inspired by pain
Painting with a love muse
you keep fighting cause there’s a fight
And the sidelines are boring and irresponsible…
If they exist at all
We’re all in this together
Whether we like it or not
You must write
Everyday you soak in life
write it out on a page
Let the paper swallow your sorry
Let the ink splatter your joy across the page
Who cares if they get it
Who knows who will ever read it
Its for my sanity
It must be said
Holding it all in is slow gentle death
Like stomach cancer
I want to die but must live
I will write our way to freedom
When you’re an artist art doesn’t necessarily fall out of you
Easier than any other person
When you’re an artist
Art is a song you can’t turn off
It cries out to you begging pleading demanding
To be sung through you
Its up to you to decide to listen
To practice
to pursue
to risk
listen
To remain an open vessel through which it manifests
Again and again
Whether your listening or not the music is always playing
Poetry is in the air
Lyrics are always flowing
dive in
