Creativity

Sometimes for no reason I begin to ponder
It happens spontaneously as ponder turns to wonder.
What is this thing called creativity?
Don’t know what it is, but creativity leads to infinity.

Creativity is ideas whirling in the mind
A kaleidoscope of possibilities, most beautiful in kind.
Trickles of effort, joining together becomes a surge
As out of nothingness tangible reality begins to emerge.

The sculptor chipping away at stone
Releases a statue never before shown.
The artist with exquisite strokes of brush
Paints a masterpiece causing us to gush.

A mesmerising piece the orchestra plays
From side to side the audience sways.
The dancers dance to a rhythmic beat
Not knowing how they move their feet.

Creativity rises through osmosis of components
Sometimes leading to breakthrough Eureka moments.
You find excitement in the land of Serendipity
A journey to simplicity on the far side of complexity.

You cannot start creativity at will
Once it starts you cannot keep it still.
A beautiful poem composed of random words
Comes together like a flock of birds.

As we marvel at the creativity
Which converts nothingness into reality.
Let us bow to the God Almighty,
Who is the Creator of the creativity.
Let us bow to the God Almighty,
Who is the Creator of the creativity.
