A Break From The News Of The World
By Dreaming Ace
I was on a walk
Looking and exploring
When I found a sofa
In a local retail shop
An orange sofa
Against a magenta wall
Spoke about the power of magenta
This sofa caught my eye
Because it looks like
A piece of public art
I do not know the story
Of this random sofa
And did not have the money
Or ability to bring it home anyway
But finding this work
Made a day a bit brighter
Which is useful when
It can feel like the whole world
Is fallen to pieces
(Haiti, Afghanistan, Delta)
Broken glass everywhere
Just waiting to cut our hands and feet
If you need a break
From the heaviness of a broken world
Go for a walk
And see what you find
Flowers or Sofas or Painted Manhole Covers
Art can be found
In any space, In any time, In any universe
When everything feels a bit too much
Let Art show you a way to escape
To somewhere you are safe and loved
