Work of Art

every artist seeks to create beauty
a painting
a portrait
a sculpture
a melody
a sonnet
a photograph
a color
an expression

but the great artist has reason to boast
for the massive blue expanse is his canvas
the proud mountains his paintings
the trees are his handiwork
the living creatures his expression
and the chorus for his melody

yet he has revealed his masterpiece
the declaration of his life
the image of his soul
his portrait
the ultimate work of art
