A New Perspective

Artistry is not alchemy Art history or a mystery It is turning fact into fiction By blending emotion and diction Fiction then becomes fact again Even when it’s not a perfect ten Art always conveys a different view Turning the old into something new A fresh slice of perspective Be it contrived or inventive A new pair of lenses Our vision it cleanses To see the world through another’s eyes With different truths and different lies To understand that what we see Is not all there is to reality
