Creative Release

Creative Release I lift you old broad one With a light wrist as if you were a feather that strokes the loins of soft pink flesh. You coat my cover With luscious color As I wisk away the dust from yesterday And makes new strokes on my daily canvas. I play your strings so fragile Yet you are loud and sometimes irritable Or maybe it is my voice that’s imperfect That resonates my fingers and bow I touch the keys as if magic and Immediately I am far away In another time, another dance Another sad song. Still I come to this sheet Filled with release Spilling with emotion Opening the door of creative life And spewing simple words On white sheets Again to create and repeat The energy of my soul.

Welll done Jeralynn ! If one has it in them, it has to be released to be fulfilled.I keep trying to live life happily without doing -but it just doesn't happen. Thanks for sharing the well said thoughts in this poem. God bless.-Robert

Superb description of the creative process, Jeralynn. It's something to which all artists can relate. One masterpiece does not satisfy our desire to continuously generate more. Well penned! Love, Carolyn
