Dandelion with seeds blowing away on a black background. Inspirational text reads: "while you breath, SING - while you sing, WORSHIP. while you live, LOVE - while you love, GIVE. while you work, SHINE - while you shine, FORGIVE. while you walk, DANCE - while you dance, LET GO."

My eyes are on the canvas

My mind naps in the dark

I feel my heart’s own rhythm

I’m moved to make my mark

 

My tool points to the surface

My brain is out to lunch

My soul directs my brush strokes

Relying on a hunch

My brush is lush and ready

My thoughts have gone on leave

My gut reports for duty

To craft beyond belief
