The Artist

Like molten lava the passion of creativity
through the soul of the artist flows

The sweet sultry tones
stoke the fire
illuminating his eyes
which see the world as something new

Filled with beauty and mystery
in every brush stroke
the simplicity of the man
belies the complexity of his hand
