Can you ask a baby not to cry? can you ask a bird not to fly? can you ask a flower not to bloom? life without art is death after doom life without movement still and content worthless meaningless time is spent idle just slumber just plain and bland no strokes no pens or pencil in hand no music no prose no blisters on toes no broken hearted dancers no shows only true artists understand and know how life would be so grey and dark life without love is life without art rehearsals and go sees and cattle calls no models no musicians at all no mp3s or mov's nor any html no lyrics lost no cds to sell no beats no bangs no blues no rock no jazz no reggatone no not museum walls crying for frames artifacts unknown fossil names markers paint oil and lead art cannot live if it is dead Art is a baby waiting to be nurtured and loved eternally Art is a Rose in full bloom Life without art is Death after Doom
What insightful writing, Darlene. Almost instinctively, everything you talk about is in movement. And that's art.
Art is skill and feeling and emotion and creativity in motion. Even a "still-life" moves us. Can there be art without movement, without stirring the heart or crying a tear or dazzling our emotions? No, art is essential to life, itself. You are so right. There is no such thing as "Life Without Art." Life, itself, is the artistry of God!
" ... art cannot live if it is dead
Art is a baby waiting to be
nurtured and loved eternally
Art is a Rose in full bloom
Life without art is Death after Doom ..."
Amen!!! I live, breath and eat art - so I couldn't agree with you more, Darlene!
God bless,
Sandie.
