The poem, with no doubt compliments and simultaneously supplement this art piece, pls read and enjoy with love..

    BEAUTY FROM ASHES
What holds thee, thou air,
Vexing my bowels with awe?
Just as to the lions' den
In misgiving culling the next.
Change looms in the clime
With instincts of ordeal.
Arming myself with brush and pen,
I set loose on an aiming quest.
What words can allure you?
What sublimity can charm your fancy?
Can anything good bloom,
Spring from my old tattered self?
Light did came out of darkness,
same as beauty from ashes.
All there is to fancy
From thorns swells a rose.
What words then
Would arrest my tidings?
What beauty now
Would illuminate my shabby decayed soul?
    '. . . Except a grain falls to the ground and dies,
    It remains only a single grain.
    But if it dies . . .'
As a child rests,
Rests on its mother's milk
So my soul I place in quite peace
As I look unto beautiful things
Blooming from my old tattered self.
