Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme is beauty.
Today’s poem is a number poem about an artist’s motivation.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Fifty-four returns life's many favors.
Into what she does she pours her heart.
Fortune will reward the work one savors,
The roles where love of beauty spurs one's labors,
Yearning that must underlie all art.
Feeling is a shape, a tone, a color,
Out of which in time will come a whole.
Underneath all being is the Other,
Returning to whom is the artist's goal.
