Art.

Art.

 

Take your pain

Your love

Your faith

Hand stitch your power

Your words

Into a tapestry of humanity

Breath vulnerability

Into clay

Paint admiration

Into a world of blue and gray

To give your power away

Mold beauty

Out of pain

Is an artists

Greatest sway

Over those

Who wish to

Take it away.

I enjoyed this one as well.

P.S. I think you meant to put 'breathe' not 'breath' on your 7th line.

Either way, it's a good piece.?
