ART'S GIFT

If art happens, it requires an eye and hand
Expressed by an artist's creative fire to create
Many appreciate the end result but don't understand
It has to have come from a singular act of creation
It is alive thereafter, or fails by damnation
But not all have such talent to command
It isn't about destiny or any kind of fate
It comes from control of one's fire
Not simply from desire
But a design or aptitude
And a decision to make it happen

“You must have chaos within you to give 
birth to a dancing star.” Friedrich Nietzsche
