The Artist's Way Poem by Quinn Graw

Let the artists have their say
a baton, a paintbrush or paper and pen
different medium to create the hidden story
expanding our creativity
in a personal wave of glory.
Let the oil painting shine every day
show your talents show your light
don't hide under the bushel at night.
As the blazing summer sun
don't have regrets and be in mourning
for not showing your abilities to the world.
Release the flag of art to be unfurled
even in the strong head winds of tomorrow.
As daily height of sorrow grows
yet the pain is eased a little bit more
by that piece of music you've played
or that watercolour painting on display.
Live your story by the chosen words
write a poem with flair
including hope, love and a dash of prayer.
In the art of the heart
keep on creating from your start
learn life in the craft
live your art that isn't at all daft.
Give yourself as you create
share with others the blossomed state
that you live in this moment.
The gentle wave of leaves
in the slight summer morning breeze
much different than the winter freeze.
Vitality and perseverance live on
for we all have a limited edition of time
so many words then life becomes history.
