Discovering my inner-self through art

Self Aware

Walking the halls of the Louvre,
a memory comes to light
I've always loved to look and gaze,
imagining what went on in the mind
of the artist
Was this piece simply done for fun?
Was it done for profit?
Was it done for love?
Some of the oils speak to me
Some of them simply stare back
My senses come alive
And I realize the inner artist
the one who wants to get out
The eye looking through the lens of my camera
My self that wants to look back

Author Notes
This was written as I looked at the photos I took in the Louvre Museum in Paris. Returning to the museum after 30 years gave me a new perspective on the 19 year old that had been there before. Thank you Celia Claase for your artwork, "Contemplating," it just seemed to fit.
