The call to creativity...

Have you ever noticed our desire to create?

To produce, develop, and fabricate,

To compose, to invent, to design

To construct, develop and refine…

It might be a painting, a poem, a book,

Perhaps a new dish that you’ve chosen to cook.

It could be a carving, a fine piece of wood,

Or a report that you’ve worked on as hard as you could.

Maybe some music, the melody for a song,

Some fine catchy lyrics that’ll have folks singing along.

It might be treading the boards in a serious play

Or teasing a delicate shape out of clay.

It could be mechanical, delving in deep grease and grime

Fine-tuning machines until they’re running just fine

Perhaps you love knitting, or perhaps cutting hair

Designing new blueprints or new dresses to wear.

Maybe you could happily while away hours

Choosing and arranging freshly cut flowers.

You might love DIY or you just love to dance,  

You’d have joined the ballet if you’d had the chance.

Or you thrive in the garden, planting and mowing

Surveying all the wonderful things which are growing.

Perhaps you love to draw, to sketch, or to cover

Pristine white canvases in swathes of rich colour.

Maybe jewellery is more your thing,

Fashioning a necklace, a bracelet, a ring,

You might program websites, you know html

And CSS, ruby, and java as well.

Or possibly you prefer a needle and thread

Or maybe a set of great tools instead.

You might be a planner who loves to organise

Picnics or outings or a Birthday surprise!

Your creativity will be manifest in all kinds of ways

It might not dazzle, astound or amaze

But it will bring you enjoyment, well-being and pleasure

A sense of contentment, a delight you can treasure.

To take the time, unleash your need to build

And reap the rewards of the joy it can yield.
