Shattered seconds stretch and flex into passing hours; As black ink bleeds thru thin white space; As unspoken sentences dance in the dust; As the artist’s pen rests on the crest of the wave, Perched like gulls—hungry and hunting; As the broken clock laughs, filling space with an echo of time; As the Creator dips his brush; And, painted words drip, And fill, And bleed… And, Art is born.
