Thoughts thunder
through me,
twisted magic
minus metrics,
Creating absolute,
unbridled hope,
within the confines
of my mind,
the air is electric.
Immersed in
the many fathoms
of my muse
during these
autumn days.
I wring the darkness,
as words run slowly
and freely, like syrup
and to my soul,
they taste every bit
as sweet...brainstorm.

Writer's Notes: This short poem pays homage to the wonderful and mysterious aura that is the creative process. After writing for a few decades I've learned how to coax creativity out, given the proper conditions. I can sometimes feel it within my bones when the conditions are right for it to strike.
However, there's an unexplainable magic to the creative process and if creativity doesn't feel like "coming out to play" there's absolutely no forcing it. I sometimes wonder if creative people are merely channels who can harness and focus this amazing energy, bringing it into the world as something concrete -- like art, or music, or literature for all to experience.
