Art

If you make Art
do not wait
for the World
to accept it
or accept you

If you make Art
then make your Art
as often as you can
Let nothing deter you
in this pursuit

If you make Art
then you will know
what it means
to struggle in search
of what others
deem to be foolish

If you make Art
then you will grow
your heart and spirit
in ways others
can only imagine

If you make Art
you are always
reaching for connection
and you will find it
and others will find you

If you make Art
then you will live on
in brief immortality
until all memory of us
is erased

If you make Art
press forward
relentlessly
until at last
only Death itself
can put your
hands to rest
