What is art if not love?
The ability to take ones values
And etch a cohesive memory
Into the fabric of time

Whether dark or bright
Art provides insight into the minds
Of men long forgotten (or present)
To the annals of history
Telling their stories of blood
Or reciting exciting tales of heroism
Catechising the moments
That define all of humanity

What isn't recorded is the decay
To which wisdom lost its part
A tragedy that bred dependency
On popular ideals
Contrived of the notion that society
Derives the very heart of love
For all to see

Yet I view the world differently
Drawing the conclusion that if
In fact,
Art IS love
So to must philosophy be explained as
The Art of Wisdom
Painted only by the individual
Capable of discerning the foundation
Whereas beauty is inherent
