A Work of Art

A Work of Art

A fait accompli my mind says

In monotonous tones over and over

I’ll not stop till my broken

Heart is a work of art

A creative urge will bring

Brilliance to my waiting canvas 

New brushes will sweep with

Sweet abandon

My paints thick from nature’s nuances

With readiness for a renaissance 

Charcoal sketches bold and strong

Will grace my easel

Each splattering of color

Creating beauty's bounty

As each colour blends in harmony

My soul will awaken with wonderment

I shall hang my painting with pride

Knowing whatever happens

Artists will still practice their art

poets pen their poems

And life goes on without you ~

How can someone other than you make a broken heart appear so beautiful .. both in words and illustration?! Without reading below.. (had to add the previous after initially reviewing) .. I immediately thought of a 'work of heart' .. creating something beautiful from sad scattered pieces, converting them into something worthy, hopeful, bright. Tis true, whatever happens, whatever hurts in life, it goes on, and of course, so does beauty in its many forms, one just has to find the where, why and what.

Breathes in beauty
As each colour blends in harmony
My soul will awaken with wonderment '

"A Work of Art"
Helen Margaret Crutchett,
To live our days is to be imperfect, flawed but desiring to learn and be better. When people desire to mature and learn even as time passes and we age we can become more beautiful within.I know for me that hope is the motivator. I found that while reading this poem of yours that beauty within is of a soul that becomes more beautiful and a work of art.
Blessings,
Kathy
