#291 Loving Art

One reason people don't understand music, poetry, dancing or artIs we are taught to analyse it at schoolYou need to fall in love, let it fill your heartLet it make you act a total foolYou must learn each step, remember each noteBreak down each and every lineAnd never feel the rhythm inside your throatNever live inside the rhymeYou must say to that world of cynicism and fearI don't know why, but I like this thingYes, this thing. This one right here.It fills my mind, makes me want to singDon't be afraid, or embarrassed or scaredLet it fill you to your coreAll art is flawed. All things are impaired.Don't let that stop you wanting moreBut you must learn to love, complete and trueThen, and only thenWill you want to break it down like school taught you tooYou will want to break it down, understand howThis song you heard or drawing you foundOpened you up more than you'd ever normally allowWith just a brushstroke, or word, or soundStudy has it's place. But it must not come first.Find that which means something to youThen break it down, if you have the thirstBut let yourself love it through and through***https://harryisapoet.blogspot.com/2018/07/loving-art.html
