Dawning Creation

A window
Chair
Table
Paper and pen

Exhausted eyes open
Light passes through
Revealing imagination's kingdom
Where innocence of vision
Constructs reality's alternate states

Instinct rejoices
Inviting fearless abandon
Abolition of doubt
Becomes trusted reward

A sudden breeze
Makes restless the paper
Arresting pen's attention
Beckoning ideas to flow

Eyes gather more light
Urging ink's furrowed lines and space
Across restless landscape

Tilled grounding embraces syllabic seeds
Eager to grow
Anticipating harvest to nourish other imaginings
Where the aridity of mind will moisten
Provide conception and development
Perpetuate linguistic fertility

Only destiny knows of full term
As gestation differs from mode to mode
But writers know birth's rewarding cry
The impulse to envision outside the box
Creation's initial attempt
One's first draft
