ART and LIFE

When you think that it is just about over
When you think that the pain
suffering
not knowing
and the sheer terror of something totally different
stops you
freezes you
and is a cloud on your spirt.
You MUST go to your MUSE
and you MUST
See again
Breathe again
Laugh again
and just learn
all over again
that LIFE
is worth it all
and ART is LIFE

I have to remind myself
may sound strange
but I have come to the edge
and peered over

It was not the living that stopped me
or the dying
it was the mission

It was the need to finish that canvas
the need to see that baby born
to hold my babies
to drink that glass of red
and to know that I did it 
ONE MORE TIME
