GRAIL QUEST
Artists are immigrants.
Some are legal
And are flush with grants.
Some are illegal,
With recognition scant.
**********
Artists all, though, share the same goal:
Cross over the luminous boundary,
Reveal secrets of the soul,
Find the undiscovered country.
**********
Artists then see visions of glory,
Visions of heaven and hell.
Then they return with some trite story
Far short of what they meant to tell.
**********
Artists who drink the brew that is true
Again set out on that lonesome trail,
Seeking once more to view
A vision of their Holy Grail.
