Artist Life

Money poor but there are other riches

Artist life is money poor,

bank balance grows slowly,

but other perks are huge.

As today morning,

I was making a landscape,

with hills, lake, tree.

My body was obviously at home,

but my soul was there.

I can quench nostalgia

like that, by painting an

art of a mother with daughter.

My night ended

getting a buyer message

about how pleased she was

with the art product,

she made her relative happy,

with the gift.

Morning started

greeted by a buyer message,

of gratitude for a serene art,

that will grace her house.

Artist life is not money-rich,

but opulent in other ways,

one can feel yutori, to ikigai.
