what is an artist?
nature is light and the artist is but a smart prism
it may take years to grind it to a rainbow shine
he is a wizard or witch who works with a paint and brush
pinning the world down to mere colours and strokes
within the spread of his hands
someone who helps us see the world
with some feelings and thoughts
if we havent had them
Someone who shows us how the world
can be squeezed, circled, squared
off, bound, tied, bombarded
to suit our artistic bent
Someone who shows us how a moment
can be condensed in the flick of a second
or a few hours to justify the worth of art
someone who thinks the world should be
thicker in colours, broader in shape
and slicker - that silence in itself speaks more
volume
someone who is an instrument of nature
to unveil to us the number of faces she could have
nature's make up man
nature's alter ego; someone
who shows us how Narcissistic
nature can be when it comes to
framing him on a piece of paper
Someone who helps us go into the heart of nature
nature is light and the artist is but a smart prism
