"Beautiful creations sprout and burgeon,
as if woven to life by the hands of Merlin.
Forms and features, filled to the margin,
unveiling a brand new world for us to indulge in."

I have a profound respect for artists, born from both wanton envy of their abilities and an insider awareness of the hard work involved. Often when I find myself lost for inspiration or drive, I turn to art to rekindle the flame.

This piece was originally just some idle word play that eventually turned into something of a salute to the creators out there, whether artists, writers, musicians, or whatever talent you pursue. It doesn't matter how many of us there are in the world, there can never be enough beauty. Never, ever let yourself be convinced that your efforts aren't worthwhile. The soul requires sustenance just as much any as mouth, but so often it is the one that is left to starve.
