Masterpieces
are not just found
in Paris Louvre
hung upon a wall
in Sistine Chapel
painted upon
ceiling old walls
masterpieces
can be frequent found
closer to sight home
hung in variant places
see all admission free
not just with two eyes
hear touch taste feel
absorb through senses
in skin caress breezes

Sweet Violets
You are brief and frail and blue-
Little sisters, I am, too.
You are Heaven's masterpieces-
Little loves, the likeness ceases.

New-born Babe
(glenn cardier)
New-born babe
Dont know nothing bout the ways of the world
Or astronauts upon the moon, or witches on brooms
New-born babe
Dont know nothing bout the politics of people
Or chess pieces, or old churches
You just know your mother
New-born babe
Dont know nothing bout the way its gonna be
Or clown faces or masterpieces
Or love affairs or rocking chairs
I see you sleeping away, getting older every day
New-born babe
Dont know nothing bout the way its gonna be
Or clown faces or masterpieces
Or love affairs or rocking chairs
I see you sleeping away
Oh, youre getting older every day

Vain suitors of your votes
Lay on your feet vast promises
Charm you with every hope
And paint you masterpieces.

Clint Eastwood. Here's a guy who's been involved in so many movies, lots of them masterpieces, and now he's a director. I just like everything I know about him. He's very decisive, he makes up his mind real quick.

water in the well
with my palm I skim the pail
to catch stars one by one—
when in the night you visit
I scatter them before you
