The Outcast Wearing a Straw Hat.

Andino

Say bye to your woes
and inspire yourself 
with the struggle of someone
possibly like you and I 
who I learned about once
when I presumed that I was dead. 

A homesick man on a voyage 
exited home to find a different way of life
far from the people, he doesn't fit in at all. 
He waits eagerly to meet melancholia 
and alter his life.
Because bad events lead to doorways
for art and life to collide.

Brush stroke after brush stroke 
he can produce a spot full of bright colors
sometimes soft, for some, they may seem harsh
outside the standards of the conventional kind of mind.
Blossoms, potatoes, and ripples crash by
cerulean blue, yellow, and white
to place God in his work
that it's his philosophy of life.

There are a lot of shining stars out tonight
the moon has the shape of a banana 
looking to the right.
With all his brushes, colors, and God by his side
his committed to painting you
the best starry night.

    'Because bad events
    lead to doorways
    for art and life to collide.'
    even devoid of any theological alignment
    I can't help but laud the bravery of this Poem
    the fight,
    the will, to discover
    what comes, after
    when we falter,
    bruised knees and ego's
    as our trophies, in life
    and yet we rise, once more
    ROAR!
    our defiance, in the face
    of ill-fate's, cruel machinations
    accepting
    with humility and unflinching, fervour
    our defeat, as spark
    to our next, blazing fire of triumph
    not just another pile
    of dreams, turned to ash...
    this
    that volcano, lava
    birthing
    of Artistry's, uncontainable
    zest for life!
    (I bow to your superior talent, dear Poet)
    may your Art, ever
    shine bright!

      Hey, fellow Poet thanks for the kind words.
      I believe you and your kindred spirit wont go unnoticed
      now, tomorrow and in your other life.
