PERHAPS...

Perhaps....

artists create to dance with reality,

that ever changing effervescence that welcomes

infinity with a loving embrace.

This dance, free from self esteem and recognition needs,

free from the illusions of success and failure,

and gratefully free from "make a living",

blesses inward adventures and mysteries with colors and shapes

that can surprise even the most experienced traveler.

Perhaps artists create for just a simple moment of intimacy,

a nurturing pause, where a gentle breeze can take center stage

announcing peace as the leading lady.

Perhaps artists create in the infinite presence that they are,

where effort gives way to all that is with a smile.
