Well, here we are, the end of another season of poetry. Thank you to all who read, commented, and shared this year's journey with me. All in all, I would say it was successful, and I am pleased with the product. I look forward to more next year, and maybe a little more participation...or start your own challenge (that may or may not involve writing of any sort!) The last post for this year is, of course, a two-fer, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed this last month!!!
The Artist
I wrote it,
made it,
painted it,
carved it,
poured my heart and soul,
my sweat and tears,
until the very room where I gave it life
reeked of the blood I spilled.
It's supposed to be that way -
a challenge,
a comfort,
a discord,
a statement,
that you might agree or disagree with,
but it doesn't matter -
it got you talking.
You don't have to "get it,"
want it,
need it,
love it,
or understand it -
you just have to know it was made
to make you react.
Namaste
We have words for everything,
a way to tell the world what we think,
to communicate grand ideas with a vocalization
that transcends the physical being
and lasts,
imprinted upon our souls
as an idea, a sound,
tangible and intangible all at once,
Words have meaning.
Namaste.
I look forward to the next year of growing, and invite you all along for the ride. Life is beautiful, and it's worth experiencing. May your lives be as blessed as mine!! And as always,
Thanks for reading!
