It is easier to speak of a masterpiece
Than to create one for yourself
It seems passe' to border illusion
If we only recollect regret
Then it's human to act negative
While Godly to be esteemed
But it's immortal to leap boundaries
That are precious in our dreams
Fear can be a teacher at times
It appears to keep us strong
It's okay to be a failure... we've learned
And it's mortal to be wrong
You can live inside the box for a day
If your art is yours but for mine...
It would prove of far more interest....to me
If I painted outside of the lines
To age is something that bothers us all
From infancy unto our end
But I'd rather just outgrow my body...you see
Then I'd live on...forever , my friend.
Excellent piece Susan...it seems as each day passes, another hard line is replaced by one that has been softend with times passage. Wonderfully said. (good to see ya again)
It's okay to be a failure... we've learned
And it's mortal to be wrong
Yes it is, and a most powerful message here, Susan.
