The Path of Art

I walk upon the path of art.
Where genius is the better part.
And their am grounded in the flight.
I find I cannot paint or write.

There is an essence to the flair.
A do or die a taken dare.
A challenge that cannot be met
Unless you give your soul in debt

And since I am not sure a soul.
I cannot reach this precious goal.
And here the quandary stifles me.
And I am lost upon the sea.

And though I sail in search the whale.
With every paint and write I fail.
My heart is full of spirits woe.
For all I have is self in tow.

Yet I go on and on and on.
And will I fear till I am gone.

You are a wonderful artist. Especially, when it comes to writing. This is just beautiful.

(big huggggsssssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Heavy Sigh...

heavy, Sy...

quit being so hard on yourself...
you pass around more joy than
you think...

Tea's on.  Sit with me...
we'll reflect...

Really nice one Sy, but I've seen photos of you painting and know how good it is.  Your poetry is wonderful.

And though I sail in search the whale...

Love that stanza most of all, great feel to it!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Seymour, I don't like the thought of not seeing you every day, so just hush.....SSSHHHH

You just don't know how much joy you spread with your wonderful art of writing. Your humbleness is very admirable, though. Isn't it odd how the best at what they do are also the most humble, usually?  

I thank you, dear friend, for being  YOU.        

Heart Hugs from
Ethel

Sy...I wish I didn't understand this feeling so well, it is the place I sometimes dwell.

"And since I am not sure a soul."  I have seen it and it is the finest!
