The Art of Living

Find your art. You have your own. Show your work. You're not alone. Dare to do what's in your heart. It's the perfect place to start. Build sand castles on your beach, well within the water's reach. Watch the tide wash them away. Come back and build again next day. Plant annual flowers of each hue even though they're way past due. Enjoy beauty through the fall.  Though the winter takes them all. Truly love a dying friend. Be there at the very end. Make the hurt live on and on. In their honor, since they're gone. Write a life that's unconfined. Practice art in all you find. Live a life that sets you free. Then come share it all with me.
