What is Art?

​What is Art?
Is it a part of us?
Or does it stand apart?
 
Is it artificial?
Or without artifice?
 
Is it a reflection, a reaction, a revolution?
 
Art is a start
In the right direction
Toward self-expression and appreciation
 
On blank pages and empty stages
We sculpt our stories.
Each life carefully (or carelessly) crafted.
Each voice a note in the symphony,
Each day a pixel in the picture,
The canvas is humanity.
 
Art is from the heart.
Art is a part of us
And we of it.
