From Craft to Art
Image AI Generated by the Bytesized Studio FROM CRAFT TO ART To learn a craft– no matter which one– is to kneel before its altar, to hold the humble tools as if they were relics— the thread, the chisel, the brush— each demanding obedience. You begin by copying the pulse of others, hands stiff with reverence, breath caught between imitation and awe. But time teaches you rebellion: how to unbutton the pattern, let the rules unravel, until what remains is motion, not method— a quiet knowing, where the hand no longer serves the lesson, but how to let in the light behind it. ----- Crafted this one for those crafty codgers over at DVerse Poets ----- ©2025 Christopher Reilley I would love to know what you thought about this piece.
