Art

Trying to quote a moment,

Into a single phrase.

Trying to sketch a tear,

With all the shades of pain.

Trying to start a revolution,

With the weapons of words.

Trying to alter time,

With the magic of pastel swirls.

Trying to hear the music,

With the help of my eyes.

Trying to wonder of all possibilities,

Of from where I'll rise?

Yes.....

I am trying....

Trying to make art.....

Hello, Anjali, thank you for entering my contest! :)
You've made lovely use of metaphors here, highlighted by the brevity of your phasing.
Nicely done!

It took me some time, but I was shown it's the Trying that is binding us. We got to learn to just let it Flow. They whispered to me once in a park by my house, I was gazing up at the mountains to the east, and I heard this. Don't worry about your Creation, it already Is. Trevor Hall put it this way, he said the Music already is, I'm just the one who gets to hear it for the first time. Isn't that Beautiful. And so is this, link to one of my favorites of Trevor Hall - but they are all my Favorite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o4tLGy0aiw

Music is so healing, and always my best flowing poems are floating on a background melody. Have a most Lovely Holiday - notice all the Beauty around you, especially the smiles, and the twinkles in the eyes of the Children. Magic comes when Hearts are Open.

Same to you!
