The Gift of Creativity

Seeds lie in their bed of 
packaged paper,
seemingly like bodies in a 
coffin, dead,
waiting for a resurrection 
when planted
into the warm earth with 
springs
rain and warm sunshine 
appear.
Reminds me of the bears in 
hibernation,
sleeping but awaiting their 
wake up call,
rousing out of a snoring 
long winter
to baby cubs being birthed 
and discovering
a new world for them to live 
in..
So it is by faith, the faith 
that worketh by love
our hearts never stop 
wondering;
the urge to create that our 
creator Himself
gave us of His very nature, 
to plant the seeds
of our imagination, with our 
paint brush,
our hands, our minds, our 
quill
to bring forth beauty for the 
beholders of our world.
Truly, love cannot work 
without faith,
and faith cannot work 
without love!
The love that propels us on 
the journey
to bring forth truth and 
magnificence that enriches 
the soul.
Just as mankind wants to 
perpetuate
their kind with 
descendants, so our hearts
want to create and fashion 
artistic
marvels that continue on 
after we are gone...
Creativity is love, and love 
truly is creativity!
