Wellspring of Creativity

Taste the warm and
fragrant elegance of a
summer–forest breeze

Fill your mind with the
gentle lamplight glow
of memories from fine
evenings long ago

Let your spirit drift…
a small, empty  boat
on the calm-crystal lake
of  your dreams

Listen to the unique
music of your life…
and dance while
you may!

Sculpt the future
from the clay of
precious, unredeemable
moments in the ‘now’

and know…
that all emergent ‘truths’
which you discover or create,
are formidable and essential,
for in art’s humble beginnings…
lie conflict’s end!

Beautiful words, dreamy sentiment - all in all a surreal and pleasant experience.

This is my favorite verse of this exquisite poem.

Hello Bruce, I took time to read and was rewarded...I think we have the same and very enjoyable perception of the "now", but he always decided to show itself  when he wants...

I would so much like the "Now" would be more generous...

   Have a nice day
