Life Into Art
You love it, don’t you, when you hate it?
You hate it but you know therefore it’s true.
If it’s true you know you’ve got to see it;
you’ve got to make the world see as you do.

You’ve got to try and see it, and you can -
you feel it at removes, for that’s your curse -
but insight doesn’t make you understand;
if you’re too cold then others feel it worse.

What makes you understand is always late,
so don’t expect you will until you’re through;
just live it, breathe it, take it, and then wait.
Shape it to something beautiful and true.
