Silver Fringe

Silver Fringe 3/8/2013

Life is more art
Than it is dreaming
And art is like life immortalized
Crystallized in an instant
Beautiful and surreal.

Anything can be beautiful
And anything can be ugly
If you move it sideways
And paint it silver.

There is the way
We wish things were
And there is the way
That it really is.

My mind wanders
And I think about all possibilities
Endless as grains of sand
And stars in the sky.

A beautiful woman
Putting on make up
Is like a statue
Highlighting perfection
Lustrous and divine.

There are no limits to creation
And God has painted the trees
As deep and mysterious
As emeralds in a cave.

And we are just passengers
Traveling at high speed
Lucky enough to ride
And pick up odd gems
Of sensations, sights and sounds.

Nothing I will ever do
And nothing I will ever say
Can further edify
All that it is
And all that it was.

Everything can be good
If we turn it all around
Turning a horror into a lesson
Never to be forgotten.

There are no others like me
And there are no others like you
Burning like stars
In the cold expanses of space.

We can shine forever
But only if we know
When to say yes
And when to say no.

Others seek to control
And others seek to limit
Small minded and envious
Of the things
They will never do.

The gifts stands alone
And it’s okay for us to smile
Knowing that we shall conquer
And inspire.
