BEYOND THE HYPE - A POEM BY A.H. SCOTT

Beyond The Hype 




Beyond the hype
The moment is ripe
Beyond the hype 
Canvas is blank 
Beyond the hype
Makes one think 
Beyond the hype 
Is blank absence? 
Beyond the hype
Nothing there is what exists
Beyond the hype
Space left naked is hard to resist
Beyond the hype
Creator takes the lead
Beyond the hype
Satiating a need
Beyond the hype
Solitary figure stands and ponders
Beyond the hype
Formulation builds from beneath
Beyond the hype
Crested instrument in hand
Beyond the hype
Performance begins
Beyond the hype
Drizzle of dust, rag, bone and rust
Beyond the hype
Shapes take shape
Beyond the hype
Faces face grace
Beyond the hype
Pulsating in a rhythmic swirl
Beyond the hype
Ideas unfurl
Beyond the hype
Pargraphs unmask
Beyond the hype
Blind in spots we gaze against
Beyond the hype
Vision mixes with carefree fancy
Beyond the hype
Taking it to the limit....day and night
Beyond the hype 
The flame that burns 
Beyond the hype 
Focus returns 
Beyond the hype
Chance is taking again and again and again 
Beyond the hype
Failure makes the rounds inside our heads
Beyond the hype 
Success isn't coin, paper, gem or fabric fine another may see
Beyond the hype
It's staring at bare canvas and the possibilities of what can be
Beyond the hype
Can you see me?
