I like to imagine what lies beyond the frame of a painting
The art that it's a piece of
The thoughts things were created from
(The feathers of a dove)
The process between an idea
And a final product...
Though I wish we could share all our inspirations
Maybe some things should stay private
Even the most beautiful thoughts
Sometimes really ought not
To be exposed as they are to the world
Some potentials simply stay furled
But it's okay if they stay that way
At least you knew them, so appreciate
That certain love can't be shared
(Though there are loves that exist to dare)
And the quiet loves that you keep to yourself
Are worth just as much as anything else
Don't worry that you didn't create
Every idea that knocked at the gate
Their intention was never to be a guilt
So plant new flowers
Let some wilt
