A fertile mind of original thought made manifest
in colours and shapes from which nature cannot escape
In those creative crevices seeds are born
whose fruit soars above the expectations of all
These artists own ideas held in minds
which are hallowed caves where beauty lies
Chaos lives here too for little can obstruct
what has been given life
Dreams of both day and night merge
with excitment and anticipation
Skills of natural talent are the components of their final effort
The beholder knows not from where it came nor can peer inside the brain
Only mesmerised by its form and shape and sound and innate splendour
Through pen, paper, fabric, canvas and instruments
we are constantly enthralled

This conveys something of the mystery of artistic creation, I think, Keith. An enthralling poem (to follow on from your last line!) which I enjoyed.
