Philosophy is: unrequited love.
An echo down an empty canyon
Man crying out to a god
Who’s reply is a poem
Written in wind and water
Only a painter: knows God
Can put shadow next to light and say
“It is good” “There is a plan”
“Stand here and you will see that”
“There is no tragedy here”
Only an Artist: loves truly his work
Walks away from it to let it stand
On its own to find meaning
Weeping when loves work is mocked
By those standing too close to see
Philosophy seeks for wisdom and truth
But the artist knows it’s not lost
It is just too big for words
Life is just too big for words
And we are all standing too close.
