The Process

What makes a creative

The Process

This is my process 

So we start at the base of this mountain 
Right at the epicenter of the explosion 
Of the monumental quake that is the inspiration 
And we begin to climb and without pause we're loosing our footing, 
We're putting our hands in the wrong places 
So we make mistake and we correct mistake and the mistake begins to transform 
To reform it's very own concept and so we love the mistake and keep climbing 
All the while having no gear and no plan B 
So the plan A is being formed on the way up so we shape it and we nurture it 
And so we birth it and this plan that was once nothing is now everything 
And we keep on climbing 
And then come the crows, the vultures, the carnivorous birds of prey 
Focused on destroying everything we've established 
So we're fighting the crows, we're observing the crows and learning the crows 
So the crows have become part of the inspiration and so we keep climbing 
Then the adrenaline hits and our moves become lighter, thoughts flow easier, movements less 
Hesitant and so we've begun to accelerate and become the flow and keep climbing
Then comes the tragic fall +250 feet below back to the epicenter of the explosion 
Of the monumental quake that is the inspiration where once again 
We begin to climb with the understanding that every fault every mistake every 
Cursed interaction on that climb is what makes the climb and builds the climb and creates the climb 
And so we keep climbing

Hey ONLOOKER!!..... as far as poetic observation and poetic prose goes.... this will stand the test of time.... providing, of course, it remains untouched and 'wholly your own'!!.... because eventually someone WILL want to seduce you..... because this is a 'magnificently compelling' piece...... with amazing strength and honor at its root...... it is capable of being plugged into whatever an individual may be seeking...... the absolutely BEAUTIFULLY woven metamorphosis that occurs has such incredible 'Cross-Over' power that I would imagine that it takes on an unexpected momentum of its own!!.......ALL STARS & PINNED.... you have created & and touched on subject matter that could potentially reach the masses.... it's ALL in the subtlety of your approach and compelling delivery with which it has been penned...... you have something VERY special here...... I'm proud to know you my friend!!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!...... using Crows was/is a master stroke!!........ kisses.......T xo. :
