Creation's Artifacts

by Odin odin@aflx.com — Read all 3,869 poems by Odin odin@aflx.com

How miraculous the relationship between the heart and the mind, an inner-connected in spirit knowing without heart, creation’s sustenance may be lost.

 Creation's Artifacts




For the artist,
the heart is an invaluable multi-dimensional gem of creation
shared in clay,
oil paint,
marble,
an arabesque,
a fugue,
or as sub-text beneath text
as a transparency of incomparable depth.

It is for all its creativity and steadfastness,
but an artifact of human agency,
functioning with maverick independence,
a gentle giant of life flow
often thriving on the chaos of one’s experience,
and like the neon-flashing appetites of the Vegas Strip,
mirroring the frenetic desire felt from a world chasing delusions.

How cherished,
this expression of creativity’s beating passion,
valve by valve,
artery by artery,
vein by vein,
sharing the visionary fairy dust
being whispered into every creation.

Indeed, the heart supplants the mind when it comes to ultimate creativity, enshrouding the full range of our emotions into the maze of our thoughts, thus tendering them human. Your work always intriguing and thought-provoking.

Certainly like the title of the novel about Michelangelo, Agony and Ecstasy. Artistry is a reflection of life flowing through our veins expressed in many media that can be understood or misunderstood by the beholder.

Your choices of abstract art with every poem I find priceless to view. Such creativity!

Your creative mind Kent, your hippocampus and amygdala, your sense of being, and your insatiable desire to connect things, groks life through a unique lens. I'll have to paraphrase this. It's something I read some time ago in 'Creative Confidence' by John Kelley and David Kelley. Seems apropos in context. "When people rise above the fearfulness’s that block their creativity, myriad new possibilities emerge. Instead of being rendered powerless by the prospect of failure, they see every experience as an opportunity they can learn from. The need for control keeps some people stuck in the beginning stages of a project. By cultivating creative confidence, they can use their uncertainties as a kind of impetus that allows them to leap into action and accomplish things they never dreamt possible. Thanks for sharing. r
