pick up the paint brush dip it into the pool of child wanderlust watch your reflection obscure in the ripples sling it in a fit of carelessness let it drip randomly paint the ground paint the sky!
orchestrate the world alive
make it flourish grab the colors barehanded fling birds into a fluttering explosion smear mountains to the clouds mold skyscrapers build characters splatter emotions on your soul
give lost loved ones new life take them on a journey they're not gone if you give them somewhere to live
mistakes are rewritten goodbyes erased hugs never missed
grow tall gain strength fly to the moon watch the world heal
What goes through my mind when I read almost anything. I like to think everyone goes through the same process I go through when I write. I literally just sit down with no plan and just write what my mind tells me to. Sometimes I feel pure joy. Others the emotions just follow as I type. I truly love to write. The world just disappears around me. I may never write any best sellers, but I will always have a good place too go. I hope everyone else feels the same way when they write.

This poem speaks to the power of imagination and creativity to transform the world around us and to help us find meaning and purpose in our lives. The use of vivid sensory details, such as the "pool of child wanderlust" and the "fluttering explosion" of birds, creates a sense of wonder and possibility that draws the reader into the speaker's experience.
The lines "give lost loved ones new life / take them on a journey / they're not gone / if you give them somewhere to live" are particularly poignant, highlighting the ways in which art and imagination can help us to remember and honor those we have lost.
The final lines of the poem, which encourage us to "make enemies weep / slay dragons / live a story," are a powerful reminder of the importance of courage and resilience in the face of adversity.
Overall, this is a beautifully crafted and deeply moving poem that speaks to the universal human experience of creativity and the ways in which it can help us to find meaning and purpose in our lives.
A really nice composition! It is indeed imagination in which these things can happen. I also agree with the author's note. Writing is like a drug to me, slowly incorporating within and making the world disappear. Loved reading it ☺
Love your author's note. I feel the same. Love to write. It's as fundamental as breathing.
Love this poem, as well. Beautiful. So many memorable lines. Love this one:
pick up the paint brush
dip it into the pool of child wanderlust
and this: grab the colors barehanded
Love this line, as well...what a wonderful way to think about it (although you may want to change their to they're): their not gone/if you give them somewhere to live
This poem has beautiful flow...crescendos as you go...then gently setting you down, with the challenge: live a story/what are you afraid of?
This is a beautiful piece...perfect in every way.
Thank you for posting it.

Thanks for the review. Nice catch on the grammical error.
inspiring indeed! adored the fact that you've let us peek into your personal thought process in regards to giving birth to a write/poem, etc. -- everything and anything is truly inspiring...i believe we writers
have our eyes opened a little more & sensitive to moods/surroundings, perhaps too much? so we have a desperate need to express ourselves or like Bryon stated, "go mad" --
either way, brilliant use of words/rhyme, very enchanting, unique write...thank you for sharing
