The contemplations of an artist

Art is the fabric of our society

The proof that we once lived

That we are humans and not beast

It is the evidence of intelligence

 

But it's so **** hard to define

Art can be from the sixteenth chapel to a pillow case

From Romeo and Juliet to a simple student essay

Art has a broad horizon

It mean so much more than what we give it credit for

The possibility of art never subsides

And I can never define it

 

Art is not special because it looks pretty

Or because it is made with feeling

Art is special, for it's up to interpretation

That you can look at the Mona Lisa and say she is a tease

Or read the road less travailed and say "he's not the smartest man"  

See, even if you got nothing but hate for the art it's done it's job

It made you think made you wonder and contemplate  

Even if you hate all art of any type

The beauty will still exist

Hate can't stop that

 

So what the hell is art

Is nature art

Or is art

Our

Representation

Of our nature

Of all the beauty and pain

That we see

That we feel

That we desire,

For others

To see

What we see

For them to feel what we felt 

To contemplate what we contemplated

To wish, hope, dream like we do?

Is that who artists are

No more than copying machines 

Is this what art is a faded out copy

Of the artist's love

 

Or is art undefinable

That this is one of the  

Most simplistic  Thing

That to brake it down  

Is to lose a meaning

It's like if we define it

That's all it will be

It will not shift with time

And it will be taught

Just as it is and not

A indefinite concept

That can morth into  

Any thing you wish 

It to be

 

So who am I to define what brings joy into the heart of others

I'm not special

No more than the next guy

So no more labels for me

I will let art become

What I can't imagine

I will let it sift and change

And never more  

Will I try to bind it

With my definitions

With my labels

I will just create it

The way I wish for it to be
