THE SPARK

Creativity is the tiny voice that sings “I am” in the gloom of  darkest night.  

It is the song of the soul revealing itself, reveling in tiny moments of truth.

Creativity is the pulse that quivers with hope

in the rubble of man’s discontent

and the flame of commitment in the rearing of a child.

Creativity lays a gentle sheen

on the tired world on a moonless night, 

filling hollows and thickets and stark rooms

with murmurs of quiet inspiration.

Creativity quells the thirst for empty pleasures

and rides the waves of painful days.  

It fills old wounds and heals them.

It lights and smooths the steepest path.

It is the balm of my soul,

my intention, my purpose and passion.

Creativity is the Light of my life.
