Hello Jim, I liked how you revealed the poet's eternal pursuit of beauty through the transformative power of verse. I felt each line echoes with the truth that poetry is not merely crafted but chased, an endeavor fueled by the longing to capture moments of grace and healing. Yes, it's the poet's quest for truth and beauty. - Blessings, Daniel

Thank you, Daniel. I have always thought that "crafted" poetry is much better than the "manufactured" kind.
