For truth and beauty
for freedom and love
for expression
and spirit
and peace
and dreams that take form...
I write.
For the blank uncertainty
of the canvas,
for the perfect stroke
for the right color
and placement
and perspective....
I paint.
For the moments in time
that need capturing
for the control
and the risk
for the angle
for the distance
and the intimacy...
I photograph.
For the need
to alleviate
to communicate
for the insanity
for the emotion
for life...
I create

I feel like this poem could have gone longer and be more wonderful then it is. I love how you could express the things you do and do it clearly in writting.
"For truth and beauty
for freedom and love
for expression
and spirit
and peace
and dreams that take form..."
I love the begining part there, especially the last line.
"and dreams that take form" =] Very nice!
