Faul is as faul does

I crave the creativity of imagination
Conceiving an idea that excites the idle soul
To toil it for value and purpose
As Aristotle intended it to be.
But waiting for the time to do 
Limits the glory of accomplishment
As the idea rots in an imagined grime.
But to strike beyond this negligence of my apparent talent
Could my purpose come to fruition
And creativeness oozes its milk and honey.
Let me seek the sage in my troubled soul
To defeat the self-inflicting inquisitor  
Plaguing the catalyst of my destiny to prosper.

Dear Nicole, Your poem beautifully captures the struggle between creative potential and the procrastination that often holds it back. Your words relate to anyone who has felt the weight of untapped talent. The call to defeat the self-inflicting inquisitor is empowering. This is an introspective piece that encourages us to embrace our creative destiny. Love it! - Blessings, Daniel
