"The artist alone sees spirits.
But after he has told
of their appearing to him,
everybody sees them"
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Drawing
putting pencil to paper
sculpting with shadow and light
bringing forth images casting shadows
like the morning etching the world from black night
forever trying to turn blank sheets of paper into windows
few know the agony of facing that stark white nothingness
frustratingly trying to render a most truthful mirror
unwillingly accepting only workable likeness
striving to illustrate the essence
of the worlds full
completeness
