I Create

With whispers of ideas to numerous to count

Creating endlessly by the reflections of a Creator

An artist’s life is given to a brush on canvas, a pen on paper, a note soaring through the ear,

A character walking before watching eyes

How delicate – how intelligent – how noble – how limited.

The Creator has given limits, the created pushes to the far edges of those limits.

Created looks to Creator – finding inspiration, gaining insight.

The Master Artisan sets the examples.

The “limited–created” attempts to recreate those examples. 

Examples are perfect at every angle – analyzed and observed.

What is seen, heard and felt evokes a response, which fills the soul

Provoking one to tears in awe and humble appreciation.

Created grapples with understanding his limits to re-create.

It’s a hard lesson – when learned peace surrounds created, giving artistic freedom

Never achieved before.

Created places thoughts and notions in their proper order – giving understanding.

Understanding releases creativity – not trying to out do the Master Artisan

But to gain insight into perfect creation.

As he studies he attempts to come close to his Master

But always knowing his humble limits.
