Most things in life you can be taught
Except for the very concept of art,
This can refer to writing,
To dreaming,
To painting,
To making music,
And yet it cannot be taught,
For the simple reason that it is imprinted in the mind
It comes and it goes,
It floats around until someone plucks it out of the air and places it into a physical form,
Which causes a new idea to take up wings and fly,
Thus continuing the cycle of the untaught concept of art.
