Studio is a state of being,
in mind as if in a dream
where shadows take form
and ideas and images gleam
or seem to………
but doubts perform their brilliant best
to be or not to be……pests
Like a laboratory grand
knowledge and history are at hand
but little use in expressing one’s emotions
for they are ephemeral, mysterious and respond only to inner truth
Lay bare one’s soul without excuse
and be ready for praise or abuse
For in the end
thee has told the truth
and is therefore free.

This is a perfect exploration, in words and images, of that place of wonder we know so well. That space in which we experience creation and frustration, that alchemist’s laboratory in which, on rare occasions, we conjure magic . Excellent post Robert and an honour to read your poetry…
I am made humble and deeply touched by your response to my poetry John….you set a standard in poetry one can only aspire to.
Many of us do share the studio experience so your words have added meaning for them too.
A big thank you once more!
