BY DAY
Tedious boring work
Creativity killing routine
Mindless and unrewarding
Trading away priceless time
What a waste
Need a break
Must create
Find a way

BY NIGHT
Freedom found in the words
Endless images flooding forth
Infinite possibilities
Immortalizing the mind
Protected place
Workday erased
Touched by grace
Contented face

Sigh
If only the talent matched the passion
If only days could be turned to nights
Pursue this passion to ultimate heights
Dream, Reflect, Create ……. Write
