The Ballad Of The Artist And The Muse

Inspiration is in every breath

When you find blessings

In just waking up.

Everyday the world is painted

In so many colors,

Every language has its say

In the art of the written word

And the aromas around the world

Feed the hungry of all social statures.

Decorate your home,

Decorate yourself

And you’ll decorate the lives

Of all those around you.

Creativity comes in so many different forms,

It is the bond that ties us all together.

The artist is I,

The artist is you,

The artist is everyone,

And The Muse is The One

That created all artists

From all walks of life.

I love your enthusiasm in writing this . . . it feels like "SHOW" instead of tell becuz of how we can FEEL how much this topic energizes your whole being, thru your words . . . but it's mostly about the intensity of feeling that you convey here, by showing us how good it makes YOU feel. I love the way you convey how art can be found in everything & a well-lived life is full of creativity, even if it's not "beauty" as defined by those who pass judgement! Fervent encouragement for writers & all artists! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Why thank you Margie for such a wonderfully heartfelt response to my poem.

This has a great positive message many need to hear. It's all in how we look at life and the world. God doesn't hurt either. :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much. Glad you like the positive message.

exactly Dale, Art is a big part of what makes us human.... even before there was language, there was art of one form or another and it might be argued that art was the first languge we had....

nicely expressed and written Dale...

Thank you for sharing your insight.

And when we recognize this and live it with gratitude, everything we do may be creative. Cooking, cleaning, writing, loving, building peace… all of Life is Art.

Our world and its presence every dawn and sunset is what we need to live rather than merely exist. Tis only the look and learn, the see and wonder... inspiration to live and be, love and endure endlessly, if we want. Look to the skies, the leaves, the silver flow, and be.. sayeth some man who wrote a history or few ago.. and had those words translated ever more for ever more people than we can ever count. That surely is the fire that fuels the muse... keep feeding its needs!

Beautiful words, cerebral, emotional words and more, Dale.

Thank you classy lady for such a heartwarming review.

The palete is full of lovely hues... each shade to blend
with notions of discontent... bringing the illusion of
beauty in every flower and butterfly... painted on
the tapestry of a well-lived life with sorrows and
happiness side by side... in morning and evening lullabies.
truly, Pat

Thank you for beautifully poetic review.

[Patricia Wedel]

You are welcome, Dale. My Muse really helps me with reviews. fondly, Pat

How true Dale, we only have to look around, use our eyes and our creative side can come out. I do believe we all have creativity in us, but some more than others. And the muse, where would I be without her? I certainly wouldn't get any inspiration to write poetry unless she visited.

Thank you Jacob... you are right, sometimes I feel like the pen is moving me, I just hold it.
