Creativity
Creativity is a dance, a conversation
between the unheard, the uncrafted, the unseen
and the maker – the creator –
the manifester of the unmanifested.
The larger significance comes
when the second or third or tenth or one-millionth
person enters into the narrative
giving a new voice to
the now-heard, now-crafted, now-seen.
Creation is all-consuming, demanding full attention
permitting no intruders, no distractions
reveling in immersion in the present,
in the future, in the past – timeless.
Creativity is a tension between fulfillment and desire
never satisfied and always almost-there
pulling life-energy into concrete form
pouring feeling into painting and poetry –
hoping for a listener to complete the conversation.
