Sometimes I feel like dedicating our life to art is like dedicating a whole bunch of work to something only one person appreciates at a time, but, like, what else are we supposed to do - dedicate no work to something no one appreciates? 😆

I'm trying to remember a poem that used to make the rounds as an image- 6ish lines, had a title that interconnected with the text. Regarded 'the shortest distance between two points'. A few nature metaphors and a reference to either human touch or words that can't be taken back. Any recollections?
