purpose of art

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls."~Pablo Picasso



as dust swirls below our feet
we watch words forming
a myriad of messages


release the noose we have created


for comfort breathes in relaxed breezes
clearing the decks of cards unneeded

we sway to syncopated jazz.
chilling the heat stuck on a broken record
one hot day in yankee stadium

where a brief rain brings solace
bringing us on our feet, forgiven,-
records replaced by cassettes

less dust to collect, more organic space
for castanetes move us to a new beat
uncovering souls-- dust surrendering

Kate Lamberg

If you propose to speak, always ask yourself, is it true, is it necessary, is it kind. --Buddha--
