Creativity

 





Deep bright passion lingers 

in the blood  


Trickles through the vains 


Pushes through the colorful mind 


Always rebounding in need, 


Always at a scrambling pace 


Like a squirrel chasing a nut


This way and that with a tumbling need 


More colors to brush the palate, 


Next pages for the book 


Another line for the poem


One more flower for the garden 


Even as the night falls 


Creative spirt haunts the dreams 


Morning scans the sun, plays with clouds 


New colors for the brush 


Twists and lines for the poem 


Bouquets from the  flower garden


Creativity’s wicker basket bulges forever 


Oh what a blessing for the ever churning mind.

Listen to the Wind



 

Feel soft fingers of wind

Brushing, teasing across your face, 

Twisting gaily through restless leaves 

Urging tassels of color into the air

Traipsing across the ground, rising

Falling past branches, dancing past trees 

Singing sweet notes, listen, listen! 

A whistling serenade

Charming, phantom voices  

Sweeping by, dancing, twirling

Through your hair, through the forest  

Voices of wind, whispering a promise 

We are alive and one with the world
