Art. All of it and more. Life!
Painting. Acting. Dancing. Writing. Singing.
Playing music…
The excuse for…
The hunting of others. The kill.
The turning of ourselves into whatever it takes.
The change of…
Body. Soul. Face. Heart.
The failings of…
Parenthood.
Friendships.
Love affairs.
The occasional glimpse of…Talent.
The ugliness… ignored.
Our unkind selves… camouflaged.
The passage of time.
The reality of impermanence.
The determination to fight both.
Their victory.
Our defeat.
The coming of Fall and Winter.
Their humbling experiences…
The questioning of all things past.
The regret. The regret.
The regrets…
All of it just to take a bow
in the spotlight.
On the stage of the world.
For the sake of becoming its ART.
For serving it.
For the tragic irony of wanting it all over again.
Even as we’re taking our last breath.
