When Art Imitates Art Imitating Life
Will you hide is sometimes code for will you be writing today
Creativity fueled by art, cinematic in this case
She can’t shake the storyline
Don’t be fooled the she is thinly veiled
And the film breathed new life into her own
Art
Somehow the story of salvaging it
Saving it
Calling it valuable
Stirred her soul
Somehow the cinematic fueled the
Poetic
The visual, the literary
And the chicken and the egg argument
Raises its ugly head
Well it’s not ugly
Just a little cliche
And with all the pain providing a Crimson backdrop
To the day
Art does wash
Poetry does restore
Words do renew
His code for hiding
Is her code for making sense of it all
Even if it is just last night’s movie about
Europe, old men and a war
And it all comes round again
Europe, men and war
She thought
Hiding sounded like a form of
Surviving
Buried deep inside her words
Making sense of senseless acts
Carving beauty from the ash
She decides to answer yes
I will be hiding out today
Pen in hand, armed and ready for
A chance to write a line of
Healing
In a world of pain

…this is just exquisite…simply beautifully palpably delicious in every sense. Yes – we will be hiding a bit sometimes. This had so much I could draw on and relate to – thank you for capturing what I think and feel sometimes.
