Being purposeful, attentive, open,
Drinking from this cup, wider,
seeing the bounty, the creation,
visions of the artists, the creators,
sculptures, images, moments,
captured from the ether, their imagination…
Saving this moment, these moments, special,
Creating memory, drawing each of us in,
gathering senses, colors, textures,
sparking creation, delving, exploring,
digging deeper, emoting perspective,
Art, a drink, a taste, a tease…
Being conscious, present, wandering, stopping,
Dipping my brush in a fuller palette, richer,
different media, far more than color,
a buffet, a smorgasbord, a banquet, a feast,
sampling creation, vision, imagination,
visual textures, a veritable bas-relief…
Seeing, my plate, everything vibrant,
A splash of ceramics, a dab of sound, chaos,
transcendent photographs, glass hanging down,
shades, shapes, colors, images real, imagined,
painting in wood, in fabric, in silence,
brushstrokes of emotion, of eternal light…
