"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." -Aristotle
Traversed was yet known
to this forgotten soul,
yet life itself resumed
through veiled comprehension
And here, manipulated colors
danced vibrantly amongst these
now barren fields of heaven
and earth's sea; acclaimed
confessions sought to talk
above this whispered vexation
Leaving only an acknowledgment
as a rediscovered language and
remnants of tranquil observances
Confessed, which left droplets
of split ink, foretold one more
trangression...
That silence, too, could speak
despite its immobility to
translate
But, nevertheless, this
seasoned cacophony raged
in subtle confinement to seek
the freedom it has longed to
bear; hindrance of soul deemed
unworldly--
But for this moment, while
in joined awaitment, this epiphanied
soul will sit upon the parchments
dancing as these nimble fingers
dance upon those scripted pages

Definitely a poem about art. I liked the wording in general, and I think it was written with a purpose.
