Cleansing Poem by Ima Ryma

'Art washes away from the soul'
'The dust of everyday life.'
Pablo Picasso did extol
Art as giving some joy from strife,
A ways and means to reach beyond
The boring clutter of one's mind,
And seek from sensing art, a bond
For motivating one to find
Some serenity of insight
That be connected to this art,
Providing one with deep delight,
Heaviness lifted from one's heart.

Comes time when each work of art must
Have removed accumulated dust.
