The Artist. Poem by Ross Mabey

Poem - The Artist.

By - Ross Mabey.

The Artist's unpainted canvas, lays stark and bare,
A challenge for those with talent to create an image of beauty there.
With their inner eyes many artists see, colours of different hues and shades,
Beyond our normal range of vision, on their palette to be made.

Then with their brush strokes they can transform, a blankcanvas into a living work of art.
In the eye of beholder a thing of beauty, rich and rare.
Or confusion to those who don't appreciate,
What the artist is trying to communicate.

They craft the shapes and colours with a loving hand,
So that we can all see their master plan.
When its done, we can often appreciate the effort that it takes,
To craft a blank canvas into something of beauty.

A true artist is one who loves to create,
And can inspire others to rediscover,
Their hidden talents,
Before they get caught up in life and its too late.
