Robin Ess

Public Speaker, Author, Visual & Performance Artist

Robin Ess

 

One plays with words.

One writes them down.

One hears rhythm in every sound.

 One marvels over paint.     

One plays with a brush.

One dives into a project with a lover’s lust.

One is a daydreamer all of the time.

One takes to the stage and shines.

One can tell stories.

One can hear.

One can see.

One knows no fear.

One is a philosopher to the bone…

They are all far from home,

all live deep in my heart and dome,

they set the pace
they set the tone

in my world,

in my home.

They represent the one you see

when you look directly at me.
