Art Poem by Lesa A Weller

Like a cleansing and purging of the soul
it can drain you of poison toxins negative thoughts
and help you find release relief and hope
Looking or creating, we become someone different
someone stronger and bolder

Art is neither good nor bad
something to be scrutinized exploited contained or blamed.
We are creators of our own truths

We do not lie in fields of heather to pretend we are done
No we become part of the whole
one violet piece of heather one among millions.

We are Art incarnate
existing to grow
to become something better than living

We are alive
We create life on the palette on the ten-pound on the canvas and on the heart.

Art expresses love fear strength passion all things within and out
The freedom to express ourselves to shine as no other
to make our mark on the world
to share our Selves with others
is divine

Art is not lonely but connects us to others in a spiritual realm
We encounter experience as in no other way
