Creativity

Creative


Some days I am a thinker stuck in a worker’s world,

A pontificator and procrastinator with no clear sense or goal,

I am lost in my thoughts, unavailable for meetings,

Even when I am in one.


Some days I am a dreamer stuck in a sleepless night,

I’m lost and tired and weary, blinded by office lights,

I long for open mountain passes, highways or infinity,

Not a wooden desk.


Some days I am a runner chained up to a chair,

Both longing and exhausted for a road at which to tear,

I am privilege and luck though this does not comfort me,

Even when I’m running.


Some days I’m a musician or poet playfully,

I am the embodiment of passion, love and feeling free,

I need to make something out of nothing to survive,

I am a creative.
