It's difficult to express how meaningful art is
The artists creating breath with expression
Inhaling inspiration as they will their hands
To push their voice or to guide the youth
What possesses them to create this art?
What embodies their souls to emote such passion?
Do we really understand what they are trying to say?
Does it matter if we do or do they just want us to enjoy?
Enjoyment is the key whether you grasp the mindframe or not
If it touches your heart, makes you laugh or think, the deed is done
This burden is taken upon by the artist to make it reality
To expand your mind, disposition and the outside world within
I explain without rhyme to display a truth
A truth that anything can happen if done with a purpose
My purpose spans a greater chasm than I could ever fill
With words, song, sculpture, or paint on canvas
We don't want you to believe everything you see
We dont want you to believe everything you hear
We want you to become, to become what you choose
When you look or touch the art that speaks to us all
Appreciate the beauty that some art holds
Appreciate the horror depicted by a masterpiece
Appreciate the vision that keeps you looking on
Appreciate the words that flow from the fingertips
Don't scoff at others because they express
Encourage talent because everyone can grow
Even without purpose you created art unaware
Inspired by perception, heart and the ingrained beauty of your soul.

WOW!!! Keep writing Dan..what you wrote is EXACTLY why art inspires me. You can look at art in any form and people are affected by it on an individual basis. One person may see or feel one way and another may feel completely different. It comes from within and what we have experienced that we get from art. My goal is to visit Rome someday..the cathedrals, sculptures..beauty created from inside the artist. You are an artist yourself Dan..thank you for sharing it!
