Artist

Inspired by Saran's painting

Art lives in the hearts of human
Starting at birth it ends as the setting sun
The first cry of a child is a great art
It stirs the mother and cools her heart
People enjoy smile and sounds of growing child
They rejoice any action as artistic kind 

Once I met a  boy seven years old
He was like a flower with flair of gold
I was a guest in their lovely home
He was shy to enter my room
I called him to make him easy
Soon he became my friend and busy

He was curious about me and my passion
He surprised me with question after question
I wondered how to manage a genius like him
He dwelt on wonderful artistic theme
He brought his scrapbook to show his treasure
His joy for sharing was my pleasure

My sojourn was coming to an end
This news saddened my little friend
He looked pale and approached slowly
His eyes were in tears mixed with glee
He extended his hands to offer a gift
I was surprised to see the sudden shift

He gave me an art of a  lovely place
It charmed my heart with its divine grace
He painted a village with a flowing river
People enjoyed the blessing of the Great Giver
I stood speechless in front of the artist boy
Then silently left his home with immense joy

this reminds me so much of the story of Jesus...and how he was always asking questions, wanting to learn things from people, when it was actually He who had so much to teach...

he always played as the pupil...

this seven year old boy sounds much like that.

i like where you say his first cry is art...

i often think that way about poetry...i feel those of us who write them are really the poems...and we are all works in progress...from the time we are small to the time we are tall.

Jacob,your golden words give me peace and comfort in my heart.
I love each example and explanation about the child and about us, the poets.
I always adore your thoughtful interpretation on my work.

you painted the words in a way I could see the village and the river, even flowers nearby, like time traveling but with a sudden stop and see that simple things or a simple gesture can capture our hearts. Very good, i really like it.

[zainul]

Tosca,this is a great gift from you for my efforts.
Thanks for the generous compliments. :)
