Creativity ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #95

I love being in a place
Where creativity thrives
Where paint and passion
Offer more vibrance and colour
Than nature’s grandest sunsets

I create
Layer upon layer
Expression upon expression

The new obscures the old
The old shines through the new

A temporal collage

Of overlapping insights
Expressions, realizations

Hoping, in the end
The sum of it all
Creates some enduring meaning

I’ve spent all my life
Learning the craft of creation
But how can mere reason
And artistry compete
With the simple gestures
Great and small
Of nature

I have just the small talent
To capture in image
And evoke in word
An incomprehensible
Perfection

There is creation
In every act of change
Even the most destructive

I seek the frame
In which destruction’s beauty
Can be seen

I love the things
Our human hands
And nature make

With light and mass
We shape the world
For beauty’s sake

I love the way
Mind renders lines
To pleasure me

I build things
Create
Establish
Organize

Blogs
Scripts
Software
Relationships

Meticulously
Passionately
Obsessively
Lovingly

Sometimes, no words come
Greyness descends like a shroud
A cloak
A blind

No, the words are there
They are always there
But I cannot hear them
Cannot see them

And so the world seems grey
Sounds like white noise
The guileless hum
Of a refrigerator

Sometimes, a haze descends
Obscuring all I see
I don’t mind

The misty grey
Becomes a canvas
On which I create worlds

As I turn the pages
Of the open book
That is the world

I discover anew
The creativity of humanity
As we strive for the divine

I often wonder
At nature’s hand
Both in awe
And as a query

Artist and creator
Of worlds fantastic
And unimagined
By lesser gifts, as mine
