I had somehow assumed artists were their own special breed
To be an artist, a completely different set of qualities one would need
I was convinced my world could never intersect
With that of artists, my personality lacked an artistic aspect
I thought my manner of thinking was completely objective
I did not dabble in ideas creative or subjective
*
Not long ago, I stumbled upon, by serendipity
My own ignored creative ability
I could develop it further, I realized
It actually came as a pleasant surprise
*
Giving artistic expression to the chaotic thoughts in my mind
Has led me on the path of self-realization, I find
I can process complex emotions through art
I can better align my mind and my heart
*
While I do not have the audacity to call
Myself an artist, I can be artistic on a scale small
Each time I flex my muscles creative
Much needed nourishment to my soul I give..

Oh my gosh–yes you are an artist! With both pen and paint! They make coloring books for adults with drawings like yours. You give nourishment to your soul and beauty to your readers.

Thank you so much for your support!! As I said, I have only recently started exploring my creative side but don’t want to stop now.

Don’t stop! That Christmas card you did was so beautiful. Between that and your poetry. I had the name for your book selected…something like Poetry for Pauses between Patients. We need to think of a good name because I so enjoy your posts. I have no talent for writing but you definitely do and there should be a way to get it out there–besides blogging.
