Enclosed Creation, 2020
Due to circumstances beyond our control
We find ourselves with more time
Welling up in the pools of our home
Devising ways to make it fly
Reading more books and watching more shows
Digging deep into the playlists
Artists, while struggling to make ends meet
Supplement the fear by being creative
Authors write, painters paint
Poets unleash their musings
Actors rehearse their audition pieces
Dancers enhance their moving
Finding a way to stay in tune
With my chosen artistic expression
While staying sane amongst the chaos
Has become my favorite obsession
Highlighting the talents that have been buried
Underneath distractions galore
Bringing to surface ideas and dreams
That we now have time to explore
So I call out to my fellow artists
Or, really, anyone who can relate
Let’s get together from a safe distance
And share that which we create
