Essences of Art and Life

Essences of Art and Life

A Poem by Evan Scott
"

How do you see the world?

"
The Tree of Life is withered
the fruit is rotted
the land is widow
and the leaves have fallen.

Some say Life is a game
Some say a puzzle
I say life is a work of art
In a never ending process
Like DaVinci 
Carrying the Mona Lisa 
On his back 
adding to it
until his death.

The artwork of life
isn't supposed to be pretty
it's not supposed to be glamorous
it's supposed to make you feel something
it's supposed to show you the truth
the essences, cultures, the human nature. 

In a world full of plains
be the mountain
In a world full of ponds
be the ocean
In a world full of realities
be the dreams

The Tree of Life may be withered 
however
We The People
being the harvested fruits
can bare seeds
and make the land flourish 
with art, love, and ideality

We are the dry paintbrush 
on the canvas of Life
we all have a little bit of paint
and NOW is the time to do it
NOW is the time to craft our lives
our legacies
our Masterpiece
