Creativity Is My Life's Song

creativity is my life’s song
words, cartoons and paintings splash out of my fingers
smearing those who do not duck

i write because I cannot not write
writing, painting, cartooning, keep me sane
I could not stop creating as easily as most people could stop sleeping

i am assuming that people do sleep
i do also, but not many hours
for i am on fire for life – painting dreams

painting away sorrow and anger
cartooning creatures who make me laugh
playing with children who are depressed and down

creating is my life’s work
it uplifts and nurtures me, I am enthusiastic because of it
Enthusiasm comes from God
