The Art Show

Every blank canvas
transformed with color
giving shape to a portrait
a landscape, an emotion
lines to define composition

brush strokes and blending
light and dark

and the response

of the viewer gives value to each piece
some will be appreciated immediately
while others take time
to reveal their mystery
self expression for the artist

best resonates in another
a poem, whose rhythm
synchronizes with their souls

a vision manifested in values
and hues, content juxtaposed
upon a surface igniting
transformation
lifting faces up toward the sun.
