The artist

The artist is open to dimensions of experience

That those without an artistic bent cannot see

We look more deeply at objects

With an inward turned attention

That others would just pass by

Dismiss or diminish

An artist will uncover the gift

And the hidden power and magic

Contained within that particular being or object

And through their inner vision

Draw out its subtle shades, nuances

Textures, deeper meaning and hues

To gift to the world

An expanded vision

And expression

Of the profound beauty

Contained deep within

The mystery of all creation
