An ancient time, a time of Pharaohs
leisurely wishing for aesthetically pleasing,
eye capturing, breath taking marvels of beauty.
No, peasant bore brown branding by glance
only glory of color for birthrights by chance...
Death to the plain! (said the Pharaohs
Rulers ride the line of place and time
designing cultures of waxen mold
defining beauty as their own
courted talent for privileged eyes
captured musings of a phantoms guise.
Centuries pass, royalties fall
freedoms of expression for all!
Beauty lies through the artist’s eyes
sketching their nameless muse
feverishly absorbed in creation
lost within a bliss of elation
truly mastering their formation.
The willing observer deafened by years
innately knows his growing tears...
Flow centuries long for all people
denied the beauty known now
taste the waters of the lands
walk through expressional sands
feel the magic of an artist’s hands.
Beckoned by our silent cries
driven by their passions
clutching works of pure devotion
varying forms of aesthetically pleasing
pieces of deep meaning...
Writings of poetry, sculptures of design
paintings of landscape, photos of line
whispered melodies of modern day jazz…
Aesthetical dimensions
freedoms of expression
Death to the plain!
