Creativity and Inventiveness

As you strive to put thoughts to words and raise your pen to write

Remember it's not from the known, but the unknown, that creativity and inventiveness ignite

Turn away from the predictable, cliché, and reliable. 

Brave the void where the darkness is undeniable. 

Trust the quiet, find the stillness, feel the calm.

Then steadily think, speak, and move with aplomb. 

Behave as if your vision were clear. 

Anticipate the emotional rush that will come with good cheer. 

As you raise your pen to write, 

you'll find the words have already been summoned to the light 

flooded in the fire that was there all along, 

in a world that has just as anxiously anticipated their arrival.
