ARTISTS

we’re not artists
in all places, times.
no one’s whole life rhymes.
 
at moments we may
draw, write, pray.
 
at others, watch,
love, raise children,
join the fray of being.
 
let’s love ourselves
await the time
 
when Spirit calls
then pick up pen or violin
and begin.

    Thank you so much. I struggled for years with not having time, wit, energy to write while I was a single working mother starting her life over. I think creatives demand too much of ourselves sometimes instead of accepting the flow of life.
