Still Smitten Copyright 2011 Michael Gibbowr Dedicated to the Aspiring Artist Waiting to be Heard and Seen
I sang but nobody listened I wrote but nobody read I painted but nobody viewed I spoke but nobody cared about what I had said
So in my abandonment inward I turned Through song and prose expressing what I had learned I also illustrated ideas of value to me… Though there was no interest to listen or see…
For years this exile in expression went on Until it seemed all viable opportunity was gone Yet there remained a fire burning within To reveal questions, solutions and where to begin
To express the uniqueness of self and depth of the soul The curiosities of nature beyond our control To unveil the mysteries of the Infinite in time and space The unmerited favor found within Grace
And in this Expression Comfort was Gleaned Hope was Sustained and Wisdom was Weaned So of course songs are still Sung, Prose is still written Illustrations still sketched, since by Art I’m still smitten ~

I sang but nobody listened
I wrote but nobody read
I painted but nobody viewed
I spoke but nobody cared about what I had said
So in my abandonment inward I turned
Through song and prose expressing what I had learned
I also illustrated ideas of value to me…
Though there was no interest to listen or see…

The curiosities of nature beyond our control

The unmerited favor found within Grace
And in this Expression Comfort was Gleaned
Hope was Sustained and Wisdom was Weaned
So of course songs are still Sung, Prose is still written
Illustrations still sketched, since by Art I’m still smitten
