FROM DIM TO BRIGHT

Ideas from somewhere dark and mysterious
That may have been lurking there for years
Realisation that it is now the time and place
To launch like a rocket into unknown space
Yet silently, with no loud threshing of gears
Perhaps with a smile on a mission so serious

Images are held in almost delightful tension
The creative brain assumes the role of bard
Whether it will be in poetic or artistic voice
We shall never know who makes that choice
Thoughts as softened strands that were hard
Pulling thread from a hidden new dimension

It emerges, as it pleases, blinking in the light
Creativity cannot be summoned on demand
Tempted to express itself on canvas or page
Not hesitating, will stride out upon the stage
As if the brain has waved some magic wand
The mind having turned from dim to bright
