Creations

If you write for the sake of writing;

You're not writing.

If you create for the sake of creating;

You're not creating.

If you think for the sake of thinking;

You're not thinking.

If you celebrate for the sake of celebration;

You're not celebrating.

When you're driven by an inner drive to manifest;

When you and your poetry become one entity;

When fragrance and flower are not alienated;

When clouds and waters have the same identity;

In that mode of existence,

I, you, we all exist as an ethereal substance and process.

A being, non-being, and becoming;

A perpetual engulf of time;

Constant joy of divine spirit;

Then, all the things are the same and different;

Then, sorrow is swallowed by the ecstasy of nature's playfulness;

In that spirit we all create and are created.
