We are all works of art

“Ogden After Dark”

Shoes on dancing feet,

The Ogden Museum’s Lionel Hampton Beat.

Smiling, clapping, eyes laughing;

Art meets ordinary artist;

The ones who don’t draw or paint,

Just tap to and fro, canvas free.

Their art is their tent:

Both eye and mind variety…

Unaware that their life’s work

Is daily glossed/washed,

Encrusted with, “Good mornings!”

They speak:

Every flower planted,

Ever y eager hand held,

Every note written,

Every kind word spoken;

“Walking Works of Art.”

Far removed from the canvas

Standing upright and sacred…

 Applause.……
