Art...! Poem by Vidya Pandarinath

Some seek virtual beauty and charm
In the contour, rhythm and sight;
Those who want to hold the form
Of mortal things in the garb bright,
Project their mind with coloured fancy;
And work up to effect the seeming real;
Statue, perspective and delicious fallacy
Get into the feel of the charming material,
Padding up the petty and the excess inane;
Yet none wants to be in an alien Utopia,
Since nectar for one is another's bane;
Vision claimed might be illusion or myopia,
And moment's ease can, the spirit moisten!
Crystal thoughts and absolute Truth are chaotic
Words, colours, movements and form are miotic.
