91 to a bird, hovering in the wind is art

91

to a bird, hovering in the wind is art
she flies because she can
marlin jump from the sea 
turning in flight 
splashing on sides
art
beauty 
because they can
because they are compelled to
proclaiming who they are
they are true to themselves
they are real
this is art 
we leap into the air, we sprint, we dive, we write, we sing, we create
because we are human
because we can
not to make the world better or because it is our job or for applause
it is simply our nature 
the more we embrace our humanity
the more meaningful our art becomes
and the more beauty we will see when we look at each other
our fellow artists 
and the more beauty we will see in the mirror
creating for joyless profit is work
creating for ourselves is art
