Structuring Beauty
On a two-dimensional canvas.
Touching up details
With sham lights,
So that noone can tell,
To come up with a theme.
Raid other pieces
For a background
A foreground
A colour scheme
But really work it this time.
The subject lives in the art
From the time it's placed there
And needs some pleasant surroundings
To coax nonplussed emotion
From an anticipated voyeur.
A work of art,
Simple in line,
Effusive in tone,
Dramatic in hue,
Perfect in proportion,
Secret in technique,
Warm in perception,
Deep in perspective,
Close in intellect,
Drenched in empathy,
True in execution,
Ultimately a soft image.
Where is the soul,
In that which has been crafted?
Or in the life which inspired it?
Which lasts in the end?
And what will be left
Of the composite will to create?
