Artist Eye

Set before your eye one simple and glorious marvel


Take some time to study all of its properties

Admiring its place among the objects in your line of site


Consider its radiance reflected all around

Give attention to the darkness cast from below


Observe its outer form

and imitate its posture with your


Let it live inside your eyes, as you follow its contour to every hollow place


Give that object life and liberation in your mind

Finding within your heart the meaning its liberation

Forgive yourself of the crimes that held it in bondage


Raise your arms in celebration of its emancipation


Let your hand find an instrument of expression

Stroke a new canvas


And give God the glory.
