The Joy of Life, by Henri Matisse
Robert L. Martin

Museum

Museum of lofted elegance in space
Formed by the sun and clouds in haste
 
Paintings hung on the walls of the firmament
Filling the skies as a sacred enlightenment
 
Works assembled for the poetic eyes
Of beauty portrayed as beauty lies
 
Morning’s brightness peeking through
Skies of black and pink and blue
 
A canvas suspended above the mighty earth
Erected by mystic hands to now from birth
 
Colors arrayed in a dreamy sequence
From a mind beyond artistic excellence
 
A poetic drifting of the mind and body
An exotic feeling of joy and melancholy
 
An intensive pleasure in the heart and soul
A feeling of the inner self in control
 
A truth that beauty has an influential voice
That speaks in the spirit as the heavens rejoice
 
Museums of the skies in thy poetic splendor
Come forth to my eyes I to thee surrender
 
Myself of skin and bones and earthly mind
To thy face and everything that lies behind
