Art’s Circle of Life
Contributed by Katherine Baker
Art contains every human emotion
& human drama known.
The more painful our struggle,
the more value & awe-inspiring.
More than words written,
or pictures painted.
Truth is found in art’s
deepest depths.
As the human spirit
fights & crawls to endure.
The spirit which cannot be confined,
The spirit which cannot be contained.
Released into humanity, finds its way.
Journeying, our realm of existence,
revealing, sharing & writing itself
upon human faces.
Art is a powerful & frustrating struggle.
Sometimes it hurts, sometimes elates.
As it describes & defines how we are all unique,
& yet we are still all alike.
From the arduous journey, of the life we have each formed.
Unfolds the life which has formed us,
our contribution to the Circle of Life.
To be experienced by all,
belonging to all.
The beauty & birth
of an emerging truth,
our shared universal truth –
That is real, genuine ART.
