An Artist Dream

Down Beneath thy heart and soul
lies that which self cannot control
desires fire when in the night
can make the darkness turn to light
and from beneath the glow takes hold
it wells and swells till mind is full
of colors oh so bold and bright
it gives minds eye creative sight
now that which eye takes into air
brushed on thy canvas once lay bare
thoughts made whole and truths are told
by lines and shapes and colors bold
set out to dry upon a shelf
heart soul and spirit of thy self
caught at glance by passer's by
the colors dance and capture eyes
much deeper than the eyes it flirts
an artists spirit takes new birth
and lives among the canvas sold
which speaks to thee both young and old
relations form when dream is hung
felt differently by everyone
tis desires cry to soul and heart
which turns a painting into art.
