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
