A hunger for beauty


Yesterday an artist sent a survey to me, 
And one of the questions was something like, 
“How would you like to describe or feel 
About the art you create?” 
And I had to face the fact that, at heart, 
I mostly just want it to be beautiful. 
Yes, there are other words — 
Contemplative, evocative, inviting, inspiring — 
And I always hope that I’m responding 
To a prompting outside myself, 
 That’s being expressed through me, 
But, most of all, I‘m embarrassed to admit,
 I hunger for beauty, 
 And my heart soars when I find it…
