Artistry in Motion
~
The Revelations of Love
Move Me So Deeply
Where Before Me
Had Once Passed Darkness
Where the Road Had Not Been a Dead End
But No End at All
One Which to Discover
That We must Often Travel
I Had Been So Touched
With Beauty and Love
Drooping from Body
Like Pretty Spanish Moss
Lightly Dangling from Cypress
~
The Flowers of Winter
Awoke My Sleeping Cries
And Widely Opened Morning Skies
Motion Sickness
Such Artistry
Music Bellowing and Filling My Ears
Forever and Evermore
Was Joyous Errand
But Sold My Reputation for Song
Then Came Summer
With Rose in Hand
Leaves of Life and Rose
Fell One by One
~
With My Hands I Wrought Things of Beauty
But Within My Life the Harvest Falls
Bury Me along the Roadside
So I May Watch Other Lives Pass by
Where Helpless Creatures May Stop to Rest
Love Unkindled Had Been a Special Test
Pure Gold Could Not Change a Way
The Debt Will Always Lie in Weary Heart
So Painful to Watch a Mockery of Love
The Best in Some Become Distorted
Where the Potential Once Had Been
Was but Artistry of a Blind Battle
Some Are Left to Endure
A Life That Was Made Especially for Them
~
