Take a Chair…

(For DB)

A chair is but a chair is but a chair.
Now you see it..
recline in it,
even if you move it
to another room
It’s still there.

When it sprouts arms,
and stretches,
changing hues
voicing deeper dreams
you realize
that you knew very little
about furniture…
and nothing about this chair.

Then it is invited to a room
where it feels comfortable,
 grows up, not even knowing how.
It rocks an attitude
you had no idea could be there.

Yes,
you still can sit on it
after all it is a chair,
and yet in the hands of
a molding creator,
what power and beauty
transforming
from the plain and practical
To the magical
of
Art… Aware!
