Keep Reaching


I think of the Art I don’t see into,

Can’t see into,

Won’t see into.

But then, I see a unique thread

Bringing me back from the dead

Holding on to life in every days’s asking to survive

Within meaning

Lost in thinking’s sleep routine

Like a blanket that won’t give in

To the new morning.

Art is making the bed of reality

To bring in the sun light

To grow the soul

In the countless steps of days

Arranged in order and place

Mastering the chaos of mess

In the little things you arrange,

Like how you dress  

In the meaning of your intent

By holding beauty in regard

As part of the measure to create

In the purpose of what you appreciate

As you make tiny somethings

Into belongings.

But Art engaged, in day-by-day steps,

Will build in meaning’s attempts and bring manifestations.

So it is not great works of Art that we must seek

But to touch each tiny thing

With its acknowledged place and being.  

Small is enough, but more may grow

When we open creativity’s window  

In Art’s practice of reaching

In every moment of time and place.
