Art Life Imitations Poem by Terence George Craddock

is art an imitation of life
the mirror of meaning
copying reflections of nature
geography human society
held before our face allowing
penetrating gaze of meaning
insight perception understanding
to dawn grow within net cosmic
body of our soul fresh aspiring?

is art an imitation of life
a desire to capture elusive
exquisite beauty grace symmetry
in exceptional sculpture architecture
music painting poetry literature
diverse novels stories plays aspiring
to encapsulate truth beauty reality
spanning dimensions from elevated
enlightened to cruel debased frightening?

unless the imitation of life
is crafted with accurate filigree
detail hard lines of reality
tempered with wisdom humility
sympathy creativity as fresh keen bright
as memories echo of souls born in purity
striving to aid souls tortured in furnace
of this worlds cruel purification process
a darker inescapable overwhelming

agony will torment attuned empathic
perception minds clasped within
fallen dense world vibration rates?

who has indelible brush pen heart strokes
to provide infuse art within scope panorama pieces
within fusion range supernova creative exploding minds?

who has indelible brush pen heart strokes
to provide inscribe a natural feel tugging
heart strings inflaming passions inspiring
minds to take deep deep deep restoring
soulful illuminating trance vision breaths
in wonder wisps rekindled reborn invoking
genius art mirroring reflecting life mysteries?

unless imitation art captures life
entwines a natural feel for a specific piece
of themed life reflection recreation
where form bursts into dimensions of life
portraits crossing spheres of concentric life
realities in sown sonnets myriad life
play splintering possibility perspectives
hinting at ultimate specific life
meanings embodying

space opera of our collective aspiring
souls on historic contemporary
earth drama embattled stage
then what meaning
resolve
determination
shall we
collectively
inspire

within down trodden wage slave workers
to attain happiness within without
crutch alcohol drugs degenerating
distractions preventing
mastery
of crisis chaos opening
mind realms
of inner peace
enlightenment?

who will weave thread suitable words
to praise detail art glorify beautify
outline perfection sculpture architecture
to melody music painting poetry literature
diverse novels stories plays aspiring
to encapsulate depict truth beauty reality
spanning dimensions thoughts elevated
enlightened to cruel debased frightening
fermenting minds seed world transforming

irregular thoughts recorded
into life mirror paths inspiring
spiritual enlightenment defining
within quest earth souls seeking
paradise heaven nirvana freedoms...

potential birthright mastery
of crisis chaos opening...

awakened mind realms
of attainment inner peace
spiritual enlightenment...
