Birthing

mythological summary of the creative process. (Before pen touches paper).

See how the blood wells,
running down
the thighs of Creativity.
The goddess is dying
birthing her creation,
her omnipotence forsaken,
as she tries to fill the void.
Will she find , with this birth
the revelation of mystics
or recognize the 'golden calf'?

Could it be just the egg
of her cosmic ovary
splitting, the fruit not having taken
this time, spilling forth
the black juice- ink
an abyss, reflecting to her
her self-created limitations,
the una(void)able cycle
of life and death ?

In the void she had no doubt:
before Abraham was - she was,
all potentiality,
unimaginable the might
of her fruit.
The silence before creation-
salvation;

hers to give;
hers to deny.

"Birthing" shows me a subject well dealt; substantiality of contents and wise composition to be appreciated by the admirers of art and knowledge.

Long healthy blissful creative life, Poet.
