Laughing and chatting is all and good
But here in this artgallery, don't say a word.
Quietly discuss these masterpieces,
Their mysteries, symbolism, motifs, and more.
I'm silently screaming for you to slow down
Quiet down,
Reflect now.
Look, see, process, learn.
You look, laugh, distract, turn to phones.
Like "The Artist Looks at Nature,"
I know it's in your nature to be engulfed in your phone.
To focus on food,
But you miss the art,
Food for thought,
You miss the nuances around you.
It's not wrong to connect with friends.
Your friends you see everyday.
But these masterpieces whisper for your attention.
For you to use your mind
And find the intricacies.
To find your identity in history.
In every brushstroke,
Photo,
Cannvas and frame.
Laugh with your friends
As you recognize the absurd beauty that is abstract art.
Find your muse in Monet.
Your gaze in Degas.
Find the discreet light in Albright.
You might not appreciate it how I do.
But slow down,
And you might find something stir in you
Through you.
Shape you.
Move you.
