Artistic Expression

We cry out
With words

We cry
The tears flowing down our faces

We cry out

In pride
In joy

In fear
In contempt

We cry so very much

Leaving broken hearts
And puddles of tears
As we leap back and forth
Across the spectrum

At at times
We don't leap

We walk
We crawl

We beg others to drag us

But we keep moving
Growing
Learning from the struggle

Some of us cry upon the canvas
With rhythmic rivers of red
And cold blossoms blue

Some of us cry out the notes
That will save
The broken rhythm of red heartbeats gone cold

Some of us cry into the inkwell
And with dipped pen
We put our heartbeat rivers and blossoms to the page

The spectrum is

An amalgam mosaic
A contradictory chorus
A paradoxical prose

In all forms that it can be

The spectrum is to be

Expressed
