Life as Art: A Poem For You

When will we stop

looking at writers and artists and musicians

as different?

Do we really need genuis

to know

how important it is

to pile blocks?

Tend a garden

Mix colors

Create meaning

in this life

Every motion

we each take

Even those of us

who don’t know our color wheel

No, especially, those of us who do not know

Those of us

who stumble

in the darkness

believing Creator’s magic

belongs to someone else

Have missed the greatest truth,

the most important one.

So basic,

we almost miss it.

That life is art,

each moment a brush stroke,

our heart playing out its colors

against the great big Canvas

of our story.
