Creativity

Necessity is said to be

The mother of invention

But creativity, as well,

Takes on a new dimension

 

When there are lots of hours at hand

With room for contemplation;

A wisp of an idea may sow

The seeds of innovation.

 

Our former lives were occupied

With work and school and travel,

Such busy-ness our knotted brains

Had no chance to unravel.

 

But extra time within the day

Lets whimsy glow and glisten,

Igniting those creative sparks

Since we have time to listen.
