The Vintage Artist by Hafiz

The Vintage Artist

The difference between a good artist
and a great one is:
the novice will often lay down his tool or brush
then pick up an invisible club
on the mind’s table
and helplessly smash the easels and jade.

Whereas the vintage man
no longer hurts himself or anyone
and keeps on
sculpting
light.

Udah lama gak nulis. 2 draft setengah jadi malah nganggur. Masih belum nemu inspirasi. Waktu mepet. Dan, sekian banyak alasan lainnya membuat saya tidak produktif lagi dalam menulis. Sampe akhirnya kemaren baca-baca puisi dan nemuin ini. Very beautiful. Jadi kepengen nulis lagi. Semoga terlaksana.

Keep Fighting, Jess !
