Melancholy Bliss

What creative moment has not experienced distress or sadness from an experience?

Mistakes are human.

Not learning from errors is derelict.

Rising above one’s fallacies

Is to challenge that which would otherwise take one down.

To arrest the tools of one’s creativity,

To hear the sound no one has heard,

To see the composition no one has visualized,

To convey the texture of a sculpture’s touch,

To be an arabesque in life,

To be in sync with the vast creative realm

While suffering reflection of one’s missteps,

Ah…

Such is to know of melancholy bliss.
