Breathing Art Again

By Mark Prime

Ceaselessly giving.
Art opens inward
The generous spirit of the heart.

Art widens the eyes,
The soul,
Then seeks you within it.

Rigid and hot,
It needs freedom, faith
To consider where it’s taken you,

Like dipping your mind’s brush
Into the cleansing water,
Thoughts swim, breathing like fish.

Now given to, submerged,
Bathed in the shape of it,
What wrangles your soul?

If you find your breath full...
Think not of the artist’s truth,
Think but of your own;

Spirit and the heart of hope
Weep
And question why…

Teach Me To Paint
.
By The Poetryman

.

"There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot,
but there are others who, thanks to their art and intelligence,
transform a yellow spot into the sun." (Pablo Piccaso)

Teach me to paint!
Teach me to paint the sun like you, daddy!
It’s better that your life be painted first, my child,

And from its color you might then paint the sun.

You mean like you?

No… I mean like you.
