Pondering my art and the art of others

I have enjoyed looking at the art in the Apex Cafe (at least thats what I call it). When it comes to art, I more enjoy photographs or pictures of nature people. Like this one. I do however respect the time and energy it takes to creat what Chris has on display and the work I have seen Amanda do (I would like to see more) even if I do need to have some of explained to me (by Amanda!) I just wish I could take more (writing poetry) and express it in similar way.

That is actually the reason I am writing this. I couldn't stop thinking about and have been tossing and turning while trying to take Sunday afternoon nap. I wish I could creat some kind of picture or background for this song that I expanded on. It more obviouse of how well it works together if I were to sing it but heres the words anyway:

Spring up oh well (spring up oh well)
Within my soul
Spring up oh well (spring up oh well)
and make me whole
Spring up oh well (Spring up oh well)
And give to me
That life abundantly

Oh there is a riven
Flowing inside my soul
It is a river (it is a river)
That will never run dry
Step into the water (step into water)
And you will fine
Love and mercey (love and mercery)
And peace divine
Come on and step into the water
Oh step into the water.

So,
Come drink of the water of the fountaine of life
Come and step into the crimson tied
There is love.
There is Joy.
There is peace divine.

It might be a stupid thought but the whole idea was really bugging me. I think the art display at Apex challenges me to explore my art, think outside the box and keep on even though its not on display where everyone can see or hear it. Art impacts people differently. That is how it impacts me. Apex, artist: Keep up the work. We need you!
