Never Meet Your Heroes
Melting clocks
The memory persists
A moment of genius
Pure sublime
Symbolism
And yet so much more
Inspired so many childish artistic endeavours
My tentative ventures into art
Paint
Immortalized in my paint
Still the memory persists
Drawing me in
To see
Needing to see
Reach out into the painting
What was the artist feeling?
Could I feel it too?
Compelled to witness first hand
And I did
Tiny in proportion
This giant of influence
In the gallery
Having it to myself
Quiet time of the day
Stood
Studying
Stunned
And I felt
Well
Less impressed now
Oddly considerably less impressed
