Artistic Side

I'm searching for my artistic side,
but it's buried deep and wants to hide.
Amateur world is where I belong,
is being a beginner so wrong?

I have to accept I'm not Mozart,
but his music can be in my heart.
Magnificent paintings are Monet's
but his style, techniques can guide my way.

I'll never be a professional,
leave ego in the confessional.
Pure enjoyment is the attraction
when my talent is a small fraction.

My work takes me to another place,
freed from life's demands and rapid pace.
Totally caught up in the moment,
the thought of stopping causes torment.
