My capacity for drawing, or painting is limited, my art form is written word, so I figured why let that stop me in participating in this creative endeavor. The follow series is following the prompts for each day of October that other artists are doing.
Tranquil
Crowded room of background noise
Background noise in a crowded room
Room for no one to respond
Responses limited to the mind
Mindful of sinful resonance
Resonating amongst the sinful minded
Minding their own business
Businesses comprised of ownership
Ships that pass through nights
Nights of loss and regret
Regretful etchings on walls
Walls of brick of sweat and pain
Painful bricks of sweat beading on walls
Walls beaten with fists as red as sunset
Sunsetting to the bleeding of fists
Fist raised to sky in reaction shot
Shot for reaction but left to die by the side
Siding with the shooter as presidents shout
Shout till red in the face and sunset ashamed
Ashamed of comparisons to lustrous beauty
For beauty lusted for luster is lost to the fostered people
People lost in the guise of paintings
Painted out of spite but never in need of it
It needn't be a pause of reflection
Reflections seldom pause because of time
Time never pauses for the seldom reflected
Reflection that's overworked in a mind that ticks
Ticks and tocks like the clock
Clock tower housing bells
Bell tower housing clock
Clock tolling bells
Bells tolling for the man in the crowded room
Room crowded with background noise
Noise that hides his pause for a breath
Breaths that seem to exists out of context
Context hidden in the noise pollution
Pollution hiding the context of a breath
A breath, a moment, in background noise.
