Presence

An Artist’s gaze
became transfixed
by a beauty
hard to define

A proverbial
blind man sees
for the very first
time

Canvas
on easel
oils
at the ready

Paints to pay
compliments
to her
presence

Art is just a means to an end, not an end in itself. This poem proves it.

Thanks again Jac, yes, I believe that life is mostly perception/illusion and it's truly gratifying to know that your words resonate.

simple with a defined form of it's own...painting, writing. What is the difference? You find your words in the air we breathe and bring them into our sights and senses...and into existence. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder?
