The Silly Person is doing Art...

The silly person is doing art,
The silly person who thinks she is the Miro of China.
The silly person does art for fun,
The silly person enjoys her art.

The silly person is doing art.
Joy comes from within, not from outside.
Some echos will be good, though.
The silly person knows her art is -
Not West, not East,
Not Taiwan, not China,
Not famine, not masculine,
Not traditional, not modern.
The silly person knows her spot. It is all above - in this moment.

Joy as sunshine,
Good to be appreciated; good on its own.
The silly person dances in the vast universe.
Let all the elements dissolving, melting, coming and going,
No beginning, no end -
The silly person loves every step on the journey.


Poem and art by Yeachin Tsai 蔡雅琴. Sumi ink and water color on silk, lined on canvas and mounted on hard board. The size is 17 by 21 inches. The seal is an image of a bird, which is part of my first name.
