To an Artist

I’m always hoping
to find something
new

an artist taking chances

or really letting go
finding bits
of the truth
that is all around us

but beyond us

because
being merely human
we are
so  . . .  dense

Real art
finds a way beyond
that denseness

to what is alive
wonderful
and holy
all around us

I’m always looking for that

and I am usually disappointed

Not today

Exciting to discover art
created with such unerring
joy         . . .  as wonderfully
good            as yours
