Artist’s View

Where you saw boring
I saw calm
where you saw mundane 
I saw life
blossoming around me 
colors of different shades
energy spirals dancing around the room 
the life you lead day to day
is a beautiful array 
of color,
dark and light
of pain and hope
ups and downs 
separateness and coming together 
I can see the dance
I can see the colorful blotches
painted on the canvas before me 
that is your life 

you are in it,
and cannot see it from inside

I,
the outsider,
the artist,

let me show you my vantage point
