Description
Tired of wandering I took a moment to rest.I tried to find comfort in this vast, open space,
Elusive as my own peace of mind.
Surveying the clouds like the child I was so long ago,
I almost willed them to paint me a picture.
As I began to feel they too were as unreliable as everything else in my life,
a deliberate wind danced like a brush in the sky,
revealing what I guess it felt I needed to see.
I never really understood the need to visualize this kind of cryptic fantasy,
because I was so tired of everyone and their affinity for an inspiring metaphor,
but losing myself in the skyline something resonated in my head,
a voice,
an unfamiliar voice, it said:
"Boy, overcome"
As if the very answer that I didn't know I was looking for suddenly found ME,
I turned to my own metaphorical demon,
my only loyal companion.
and quizzically it caught my eye
I said what I needed to say,
what I should have said a long time ago,
when I was lost in another lifetime.
It nodded in a sullen understanding...
and it vanished.

Amazing. Foreboding. Incredible. I know nothing about painting, so I can say nothing useful except perhaps for the way it makes me feel. Which is overcome with awe.

What you said is perfect. It's not based on the technique, the style, skill level or concept. It's all on what a piece makes you feel regardless.
