Deep in the Woods

Deep in the woods, high in a loft

Canvas and oil, acrylic and swash

Carving an image, cutting and taut

The artist alone and the brush

Far away, distant, alone and obscure

Wily, elusive, coy and demure

Heathen and virgin Lost in lust

The artist alone and the brush

Anguished and loyal, the arts alive

Outside the limits Beyond the lies

Trapped in a frame Surrounded by souls

The artist alone and the brush

Interlude

Creation Destruction One and the same

Power Dominion Command the slain

Chiaroscuro Shadows and gray

The artist alone and the brush

Caught in the passion, Torment and Pain

Never released Never, never complete

Death the parting, dark the light

The artist alone and the brush

Interlude

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

The artist alone Touched

Interlude

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

The artist alone and the brush
