Art's Child

ART’S CHILD

I hear whispers in the dark

I’ve heard whispers all along

The air I breathe glows, when the lights are out

It’s evidence that I am Art’s Child

See, I was never like the rest of you

I can see more than you can see

You see a person that is getting hurt

But pain is an individual person to me

 

At night, you all sleep and have sweet dreams

But I speak to the night, I speak to the moon

The moon, he seems a happy fellow

But is lonely, and longs to glow sans the sun

 

At the end of the day, I am thankful for these eyes

For, without them, could I envision such beauty?

And though you have not yet materialized

You nurture me with hands of smoke, grey and sooty

 

This silver air I inhale feels like exchange of blood

Taking away my humanity, but really, taking away my normality

Come, make me one of you! So you can take me with you

       Someday, I will be ready; I am an apple yet to be ripe

And then, you shall see, that I am Art’s Child

 

There are others like me, and someday, we shall unite

And teach you of a life of love, respect and treating others right

Come, my brothers and sisters, let us not be afraid of critics

Close your eyes, spread your arms out, take a breath and just

DREAM...

Let there be an explosion as your imaginations run wild

“Let go of your boundaries. Fear not, my fair child.”

All will be just fine, once you pick up your utensil and set to work

After vigorous movements of thy hand, you will smile at your own fruit

 

And then we’ll stand strong and each will claim

“I am Art’s Child.”

this is deep, on so many positive levels. My kids have inherited my flair for art. They love it. But growing up...I was teased horribly for my art, and because I was different. I want my kids to grow up differently. I want them to daydream...I want them to create. How f***ing ugly would this would be if we didn't have any creative minds. I want them to see this "vision" as a gift..not an oddity. They are not only my children...they are Art's child. I like that. :)))

I love your passion and appreciation of Art.
I guess 'I am Art's Child' as well

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

The best artists are always misunderstood cause they think outside the boarders... we should embrace or individuality and not fear it. No doubt that you are an outstanding artist.
