20/20 presentation "Moving Me"

Moving Me

Subtle notes that swiftly play

Swirling with delicacy like trees that sway

Each key has power, each key has beauty

To create a classical piece with rich harmony

It sings to me a story eloquently

It has a way of moving me

Volatile shredding, and words of animosity

Howling the explosive words dexterously

Like a boiling spring in the form of sound

With drums that roll and forcefully pound

Crazy, rough and harsh it may be

But it has a way of moving me

You see that phantom guised as a tree?

The ones you would only see in a thriller movie?

It twists and turns, it aims to the stars

Yet downwards it’s pulled, with dark traces and scars

Unappealing and appalling it may be

But it has a way of moving me

And those two pink roses growing side by side

Their brightness and superlative colors glow with pride

Like everlasting lovers they appear to be

Draping earth ever so decoratively

Refined, flourished and painted with positivity

They surely have a way of moving me

At times I long for a snowy winter

Prevailing silence that only gets louder

Snowflakes embrace the naked brown trees

As I stand and stare, caressed by the breeze

Just a few colors combined with simplicity

Yet they have a way of moving me

At times I’m staggered by the blooming spring

Venting colors of nature and joy, together they sing

A song of art, a song to tranquility

A song of truth, sung with vibrancy

It is surely nothing like winter, but most certainly

It has a way of moving me

At times my heart is painted with darkness

Skulls, the afterlife and utter blackness

And my eyes see it as reality

Not a childish form of fantasy

Unwelcoming and vulgar it may be

But it has a way of moving me

The hand of an artist, he pampered the canvas

A skill to praise and admire, it’s joyous

A spiritual remedy, it revives and heals me

With a serene cupid staring so innocently

Opposing to the previous artwork it may be

But it also has a  way of moving me

Modern artists and designers inspire me

Manipulating reality innovatively

Mix media and a creative vigorous mind

Can generate entities that seem like one of a kind

It’s avant-gard, mysterious and contemporary

It has a way of moving me

And these vintage strokes of a wise artist

Not merely an artist, but also a scientist

A Renaissance globally renowned figure

For his studies and artworks require so much rigor

He lived during the 15^th and 16^th century

Yet today he has a way of moving me

And you see this artist standing by the poster?

This poster is his drawing, not the work of a photographer

Photo realistically drawn, so artistic

Check him out on Instagram; his name is Dinotomic

A common hobby, done with originality

His artworks have a way of moving me

Yet at times I find fantatsies incredible

They are cliché, unreal, but still delightful

Mountains, danger and dragons that breath fire

Fairies scattered in the skies, flying even higher

A trip out of this world it can take me

It has a way of moving me

At times I only aim to move my hand

At such times, concentration is something I can’t stand

With a pen and sketchbook I will start doodling

It wouldn’t be accurate, more like a messy drawing

It wouldn’t be polished, and not done skillfully

But scribbling has a way of moving me

At times I want to think of every single detail

At such times I enjoy all the work it entails

Each tone, each stroke, referenced from an master

Contemplating on ways to make my art better

Not from my imagination it may be

But it has a way of moving me

Sometimes with ego I focus on my liberty

And I start enjoying every single opportunity

I smell the air and close my eyes

I lift my head towards the skies

I look into my current life enthusiastically

It has a way of moving me

Sometimes I focus on this world that I long for

A world of love, never seen before

It’s a world where people are not victimized

A world where no imposition is exercised

It makes me hate this world, it makes me gloomy

But it has a way of moving me

Sometimes I am very far from being hasty

I can sit and watch the environment around me

At times it’s about having relaxation

At times all that I do is based on intuition

Laid back, comfortable and lazy I may be

But it has a way of moving me

At other times I become ever so eager

To work and avoid being a good time seeker

I would stay indoors and stop myself from leaving

At times it’s best to write notes from my readings

Of course sometimes it’s a must, that’s fine, and interestingly

It too has a way of moving me

I’m new to this, I am a beginner

I find it hard to be a digital illustrator

But that’s okay, we all have strengths and weaknesses

We find ways to improve, we seek perseverance

So at times I’m inspired to paint digitally

It has a way of moving

At times I work with my conventional art kit

Sometimes it engages me more than the tablet

When you sharpen your pencil, the smell is inciting

With a pleasing kit, making mistakes can be nerve wrecking

But it’s fun, for years it’s been my hobby

It has a way of moving me
