Creativity’s Legacy

In light,

And in darkness,

The world of imagination and art

Leaves behind much to grow and perhaps

Contribute to enlightenment.

In the passing of a mortal’s life work.

That which is left behind is often  a symphony,

Harmonious and dissonant notes that dance in the air,

Echoes of compositions,

Whispers of poetry, novels,

Paintings that capture the soul,

Sculptures that breathe a life

That is shared with any who allow.

These are the gifts to you,

Fragments of one’s artistic journey,

Each stroke, each word, each note,

A testament to a sentient existence.

But beyond the canvas and the page,

A legacy of compassion,

A heart that pulsated with honesty,

Hands that forgave,

Eyes that saw the beauty in nature,

And the virtue of goodness over hostility inherent in man.

May these modest treasures guide you,

In moments of solitude and reflection,

May they remind you of a life lived,

With love, with grace, with purpose

And a word upon the lips…

Namaste.
