Art is a part of me, and I'm a part of it.
One cannot be whole without the other.
How I live my life and choose to shape who I am
I can create something out of nothing.
It doesn't matter the medium that we choose
It's that untapped energy I feel inside struggling to come out.
To take its shape and form
In a song, a dance, an ode, a symphony, an aria
What matters is capturing that moment
That image in your head
With as much clarity and honesty as you can.
Trying to transpose that idea, a feeling, a message,
Into something tangible
The pleasure of sharing that particular moment
With an audience.
At times, we share it with others,
Sometimes, we choose to lock them away
And simply flag them as hobbies
But balancing is everything -
A personal decision on the part of the artist
How he wishes to apply his skill or ability.
At times, I ask myself that question, what does it mean to me
and why does my life revolve around it? One cannot be whole without the other.
How I live my life and choose to shape who I am
I can create something out of nothing.
It doesn't matter the medium that we choose
It's that untapped energy I feel inside struggling to come out.

But balancing is everything -
A personal decision on the part of the artist
How he wishes to apply his skill or ability.
At times, I ask myself that question, what does it mean to me
The answer simply is, it is my calling.
When I'm not around it, creating it
Denying myself any sort of artistic expression
Feels like dying.
Life support is being taken away.
The world is dreary, and drab,
So dark and gloomy.
It's like taking the sun away
Our universe in complete darkness...
The Storyteller's Message:
Life has its ebbs and tides, and during the time that I was away from it, I study and observe the world with its daily grind. Try and learn as much from the lessons that life throws your way. Broaden your horizons and open the mind, it unlocks the key to knowledge and wisdom, it will provide you the sign posts where the impossible becomes possible. The only thing you need to have is the courage to give yourself a chance.
