I once figured out, a four step process, for making art…
Creativity
People often complain, that we crush creativity, and stamp it out…
I rather appreciate,
the people who sat down,
to collect all the words…
Sometimes in order to get some good work done,
then you have to make a mess,
and spread out as far as you can…
Some story ideas,
are wild and absurd,
something closer to a dream…
I wake up some days,
and I don’t know what I want to do,
but I can feel it in my bones…
We never really know,
what thing we might make,
that will stop someone in their tracks…
We often hope,
for something to strike,
like lightning…
Creativity requires a bit of amnesia,
limiting worry and memory and cares,
from past successes and failures…
The well of stories,
of verses,
of lines on the page…
