The Artist

Life is art in its greatest form
Stroke of a genius
Canvas painted on
As art comes to life
My heart comes to light
How can a mind can shine so brightly
Painting a picture where figures move
And images protrude from the canvas
Daily and nightly

How can Your art have a mind of its own
Who am I but a painting
Your art
Your dream
Your creation
If art is a reflection of its creator
I'm more than grateful
To emulate just a fraction of Your greatness

So while I try to paint something never been seen
I know it'll take creating something never been dreamed
Which means
Taking myself out of the picture
In other words
Becoming one with my Creator

So I peel myself from the canvas
Place me in Your hand
Let us paint together
And through Your blessing
May I continue in Your legend
Creating a new first
Through this vivid verse
Giving birth to a universe
Unparalleled and
Painted with a passion
That incinerates the canvas
To lava red ashes of nothingness

And as I paint the open air on no canvas
It becomes a new canvas
Close your eyes
Open your mind
And step inside
Welcome
To a place which never existed until we arrived
We painted it
Created in the image of our Creator
We are artists
Much more than just a painting
Now go and create something
That brings you to life
