The Spark Within

During a conversation where Imagination and Creativity were the Topic, I was struck by a desire to write a Poem on such a topic. What would one do to teack people about using Imagination for Creativity? This mere thought captured me and drive these words that are within this Poem.

Not beyond those deep interwoven poetic lines Or where pattern and style captures one more, It is the plain words that strike the note best.

In the end I felt the need to let the poem rest on as little editing as it were possible and allow folks to read this Poem from where it rests. It is a Poem that is written as a Call “To reawaken or awaken Imagination!” In a time where much is used to occupy peoples time and screen usage is through the roof and Imagination has now in many ways a thing that remains unseen.

Thus, writing this with the sole purpose of striking a cord that a wandering mind is a Gold Mine of inspiration for creativity. Yet many find it difficult on occasions , where imagination and wandering through your own field of imagination can result in a work that could surprise the strongest minds.

About The Poem:

As a “Daydreamer” in many ways and through many understanding of Imagination, This has become a tool from which I very often begin to write. When hearing is way below normal levels and any other ability has become strained and limited in modern understanding of the word. A wandering mind becomes a wonderful place from where one finds awesome material to write or create from.

Disagree? Prove me wrong, Certainly Poetry does not p[ay well nor does it never cease to create wonders that cause minds to ask “what of That?”. Nor will this |Poem become a creative masterpiece nor will it ever become that, except to sow and plant seeds of thought and inspiration for future art work from great artists or Poets.

Yet still, with a work that was easier to write, it has become a harder one in which to create Thought or seeds of inspiration in which to capture the minds of readers. My aim in such a work is to inspire and encourage folks to sit in safety and comfort to permit your mind to wander within fields that grow your imagination and creativity from. Thus what does your mind create? Or does one not need such action?

Prove me wrong or Correct!

Having said all of the above; Please enjoy This Poem:

The Spark Within 



A whisper waits in winds unseen,
There thoughts are wild and worlds convene.
Beneath the hush as daydreams drift,
Where lies your gift—your inner lift.


Not every path is paved or planned,
Some rise from scribbles in the sand.
The feathered door, a talking flame—
Imagination has no name.


You need not know the where or why,
To chase a cloud across the sky.
Let starlit seeds and riddles grow,
And paint the dreams you do not know.


Pretend the moon can taste and speak,
That time gets tangled in your cheek.
Write tales of trees with thoughts and fears,
Or oceans made of poets’ tears.


Play make-believe with myth and mist,
Let logic rest, let real be kissed.
A castle born from candlelight
Is just as strong as stone at night.


So close your eyes, and dare to stray
To secret songs the shadows play.
The world won’t end if rules are bent—
That’s how the soul and stars invent.


Falling from this: you are the spark,
The silent sun inside the dark.
Wherever wonder waits to grow,
That light in you will always know
