About the Book
This collection of inspirational poetry is appropriately
entitled, “The Artistry of Life,” after the first poem I penned as an
introspective writer. Our lives are the
canvas; our thoughts, words, and deeds are the palette. Our portrait is the life we live.
All forms of art are intricate and life is the most
intricate creation of all. Our creations
will be different, yet the essence of our lives remains the same. Through loving and caring and crying and
dreaming and hoping and praying and thanking and forgiving – of some of these,
of all of these, of these and more, our creations are emerging. As our creations form and take different
twists and turns, the seasons are changing, too. Perhaps some thought within these pages will
quietly inspire a brushstroke that adds a special touch to the seasons of our
lives.
