Helping Hands...

Day 2 of NaPoWriMo 2015
Explore creativity as a healing salve/shield/weapon/negotiation method, to use when dealing with physical/psychological pain
(small mixed media canvas I made last year)

Revive and Survive
So tired....
But my hands fear no pain.
They take my sadness and spread it over blank page,
the soft wet paint,squishing between my fingers
soothes and shines.
The scritchy , scratchy pencil chatters on the paper,
sharing secrets unspoken.
I'm glad if you like the art my hands create...
But I'm more glad that my art likes me.

Enjoy :D XXX

  3. That last line...yes, as happy as it makes me when people like what I create I know that I'd still be creating things just because it makes me happy.

  5. It's good to be liked, but better to like yourself, tho I think the two go hand in hand. Great touch with this, and good to meet your art.
