Playing with Fire
Arman Hoque 1977 (Winnipeg)
Playing with Fire
There’s a fire that burns,
Everyone learns,
It adds spice to life’s inspiration.
It’s the moment of choice,
When you find your voice
And overcome hesitation.
An artist’s block,
You breath life into the rock;
Paint a portrait of life as you see it.
Spread color on canvas, the image inside you free it.
The fire rages or embers will glow;
An artists temperament is ebb and flow…
Create it when. You have that spark;
When it’s not there the mind goes dark.
Inspiration is a fire that burns both ways.
Burning in and burning out…
Sometimes you have one of those days.
Silent scream or vibrant shout.
That’s how music is created and plays.
