Life without ART, by Darlene Lewis

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

That is the HOTTEST Poem I've read about The Arts since I have been writing (2000)! What a fabulous prose that says it all to anyone who Knows! WRITE!

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!

I love your work, Darlene.
Richard

" ... art cannot live if it is dead

Amen!!! I live, breath and eat art - so I couldn't agree with you more, Darlene!

God bless,

Sandie.

Yes!! I couldn't agree with you more. How I love almost every aspect of art. What would the world be without Beethoven,Run DMC or Billy Holiday (and on and on and on)? What a dark world it would be... indeed!
Reviewed by Regis Auffray 5/29/2005
Indeed. This world would be in a much sorrier state were it not for art. Well-expressed, Darlene. Thank you. Love and peace. Regis
