The Arts

Painting by Laura Lansrud-Lopez

Words by Deborah John PhD, ATR-BC

 

I wrote this poem to explain the way that I experience all art forms as deeply connected.

 

The Arts
connect and move the soul
to places we long to be.
Ultra-blue or grape-dark sky
Drifting thru Obscure fogs
Fleeing fires being consumed
In climbing and dancing feeling free
To know humanness and divinity.
