Artist

Inspired by Saran's painting

Art lives in the hearts of human
Starting at birth it ends as the setting sun
The first cry of a child is a great art
It stirs the mother and cools her heart
People enjoy smile and sounds of growing child
They rejoice any action as artistic kind 

Once I met a  boy seven years old
He was like a flower with flair of gold
I was a guest in their lovely home
He was shy to enter my room
I called him to make him easy
Soon he became my friend and busy

He was curious about me and my passion
He surprised me with question after question
I wondered how to manage a genius like him
He dwelt on wonderful artistic theme
He brought his scrapbook to show his treasure
His joy for sharing was my pleasure

My sojourn was coming to an end
This news saddened my little friend
He looked pale and approached slowly
His eyes were in tears mixed with glee
He extended his hands to offer a gift
I was surprised to see the sudden shift

He gave me an art of a  lovely place
It charmed my heart with its divine grace
He painted a village with a flowing river
People enjoyed the blessing of the Great Giver
I stood speechless in front of the artist boy
Then silently left his home with immense joy

this reminds me so much of the story of Jesus...and how he was always asking questions, wanting to learn things from people, when it was actually He who had so much to teach...

he always played as the pupil...

this seven year old boy sounds much like that.

i like where you say his first cry is art...

i often think that way about poetry...i feel those of us who write them are really the poems...and we are all works in progress...from the time we are small to the time we are tall.

Jacob,your golden words give me peace and comfort in my heart.
I love each example and explanation about the child and about us, the poets.
I always adore your thoughtful interpretation on my work.

[Helen Warner]

What a beautiful poem- so uplifting. I taught preschool for about seven years so I have a soft spot for this story.

[zainul]

I feel very blessed that you stopped by to grace this piece with your admiring review.
This means a world to me.

And you again fill it with warm words and imagery as only you can do. I did enjoy the mental film my mind ran of a young boy with a head full of questions and you patiently trying to answer every one. :)

A tale full of charm and grace, Zainul. :)

[zainul]

Wow, this is amazing... I love what Jacob mentioned about the story of Jesus. I got the same impression when reading this.
I find that the most talented are the ones who take the time to humble themselves and observe the work of others.
Thanks for sharing.

Very nice. Reminds me of my son.

[zainul]

Thank you for the very admiring review.
I like to hear more about your son.

[Witch Hazel]

My son is bit younger than the subject of your piece, but he is inquisitive, precocious, never meets a stranger, eager to share and converse, charming, busy, intelligent, talkative, even funny.

[zainul]

I am very happy to learn that you have a such a lovely son who can be related to this piece.
This has inspired me immensely.
I request you to recite this piece to your talented son.
Wish you a great luck.

The birth of a child is the beginning of another creation, artistic, gifted, beautiful and a fresh canvass on to which his life will be painted hopefully with love humanity and peace.All the colours of the rainbow should adorn him. I think this child wanted already to share his canvass, and you were the chosen one he wanted to share with..

[zainul]

Very well said,Stella.Really,you have perfectly elucidated the life of a child as a canvass where all the colours of the rainbow should play harmoniously.
I am so blessed today that such great writers of WritersCafe are coming to celebrate the artistic child.
Thank you Stella for the very admiring review.

[Stella Armour]

[zainul]

This is all my pleasure,dear friend :)

High marks!
