anybody
can look
but artists
when artists
look at a flower
listening to the meria
they see inside the flower
hear what it says
listen to its song
and respond with love
when artists sing
we hear the spirit of the song
the harmony and fusion
uniting artist with song
making melodious love
when artists create
they pluck images from deep sources
weaving them into metaphors
honey on the tongue
the sound of te itibwerere
harmonious embraces
