Smooth Waters

What I imagine my imagination is like. :)

I write because my imagination

that timeless neverending river

overflows and it's all I can do

to keep from drowning myself and the one ever-present being

the one who prances through the waters of said river

from drowning.

Like wise with painting, with drawing,

I do so just to keep myself from swelling with

whatever I find cruising around that water,

whatever floats past

and, occasionally,

when I fall in and just CAN - NOT - STOP

and find so many things,

beautiful and hidden,

by that crystalline water,

by that lovely, perfect, cold and smooth

clear water,

I should be able to see down to the bottom but I never can

and my muse?

she dances in the water and kicks her feet

and she dives in and pulls out pretty things

while I write and scoop out buckets full of that river

and she gives me pretty little treasures

and I set them down beside myself

and gently etch them into the paper

and, together, we can calm the swelling.

But only together.

This an absolutely beautiful introspect of your own creativity. Which you are blessed with an abundance of, by the way. I love your mind! It is a fascinating mind, to say the least.

These are my favorite parts, as the whole of it is Amazingly Outstanding! Nourish what you have, Aveira. Never let anyone turn you away from what is yours...your Talent!

I love how you embrace the creative side of yourself. You acknowledge how much a part of you it is, and by doing that you set it free, to teach, guide, lead etc. Never forget this piece of absoulute truth you have written.....I say that because as you get older, (at least this happens to most of us)....things get in the way of that creative side, we try to quiet that 'Voice' and tell it Later, will do what you want Later....then later, the voice has forgotten what it wanted from us....it has become numb from our ignoring of it....

Great write!
