Descend into your creative self! <br />That fertile place of being, <br />Like the potters shop; <br /> <br />Scoop out of the raw natural you! <br />The earthy messy innards and, <br />Follow the example of the potters! <br /> <br />At the wheel of your thoughts, <br />Mould, shape, and spin today; <br />Be inspired by the ambience, <br />Of a fresh page in the book of your life! <br />In which art speaks in whispers; <br /> <br />Wherein, any word, <br />Any symbol, any character, <br />Can be written, in any language; <br />Format a micro world! <br />Like a grain of sand, <br />On a stretch of beach, <br /> <br />Unique, belonging, <br />Necessary, unobserved, <br />Yet known en mass, <br />Collective and cumulative. <br />(2009)<br /><br />Gillena Cox<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/message-to-a-poet/
