God or sod
A mind that sees, see all that's there
and still can ponder day by day
on this and that,
has riches more than any millionaire(ess)
she is right there and any whim
or gust of wind can raise her mind to stare and see
beauty in an object they despise
as in their eyes its rubbish, trash and junk.
The plastic left there lying on the sod
becomes a spectre of a maiden floating in the mud's
browns brain - a drain
yet she so white with folds like silk
is beautiful.
or in the town where hieroglyphs of taggers'
decorate the walls, that's what appals the people
going by
but I see with what flair of human energy
what aesthetic verve the curves are made
and in that sign see
art.
For what is art? A name made famous
fine?
But art is when we reach beyond the human drudge
and say something sublime
be it poetic
or in humour clothed
its all the same, it lifts the spirit, gives it wings
enthusiastic joys
whatever form that word called art employs.
So when you next wake up at dawn
look out and see the clouds form shapes
with some here, or there,
a sympathy that harmonises with our brains
creates within, yes art.
