Showcase

His art of age and innocence entwined

with brazen heart he childlike sought delight

to spark persisting forms with dreamer's mind

and paint our world in crayon colors bright

 

Through language fresh of tattered words renewed

reclaiming freedom's voice in cryptic bird

and scraps and croissants, meaning deep' imbued

he spoke of joy and sorrow, seldom stirred

 

His gift that common people might partake

to see our daily lives with clearer eyes

and find the wondrous placed here for our sake

so calls our dormant spirit to arise

 

This beacon cast enticing us to soar

revealed through garbage washed up on the shore.
