The View of Battle, by Sky Schlappich

White Light, by Jackson Pollock (USA) 1954

The View of Battle

The blur of a battle
Surrounded by strokes of colour
Unable to discern any of it
If you stop to admire it might as well be your last
Reds, blacks, whites, blues and yellows
All colliding, clashing with each other
Hoping one day one will win
A victor at the end of this mess
Stuck in the middle of it
Pushing and Pulling
Through the reds, blacks, whites, blues and yellows
Its almost claustrophobic
Running out of air and energy stuck in battle
Of the reds, blacks, whites, blue and yellows
Stopping to admire
Its beautiful, surrounded
In the beauty of battle
