Ah, to write with glorious sight All life's joy and all its pain To color in the shadows and highlight their beauty To fill emptiness with gradients of emotion Oh yes, a pencil can pierce a lung if stabbed with enough force A sketch can elicit unexpected responses And the words of a stranger can feel like home In the subtleties of one's own emotion In the thoughts that build our fear, There is only loneliness when the pictures don't hit the page For in our isolation, there is unity In our pain... passion In our hate... love And in all things... beauty 2815

Poetic Solipsism and the Real World
Ah, to write with glorious sight All life's joy and all its pain To color in the shadows and highlight their beauty To fill emptiness with gradients of emotion Oh yes, a pencil can pierce a lung if stabbed with enough force A sketch can elicit unexpected responses And the words of a stranger can feel like home In the subtleties of one's own emotion In the thoughts that build our fear, There is only loneliness when the pictures don't hit the page For in our isolation, there is unity In our pain... passion In our hate... love And in all things... beauty 2815
