Creativity

Trying to break through this void

Where words elude me

She has left my side before

Returning in her own time

      I know, but I hate when it happens, I miss her. :)

        She is stubborn. You cannot always tell her what to do. ‘Us’ women can be that way. :)

        How true that is, but we love you anyway. :)

      Thank you very much, it is nice of you to say. The last few days I haven’t been feeling very creative, but I think I may be finally snapping out of it. Time will tell. :)

    Sometimes making one to think like a jilted lover, huh! Awesomely done Dom, I love your words and I know that many of us have felt that same way, when the words do not come!

    she cannot be tamed or coerced, she returns when she is ready to, not when we bid her to. But she ALWAYS returns … in her own time. And I agree … I have not seen any indication that you have ummm lost or even misplaced your creativity! Fill your well and it will overflow in its own time.

    Reblogged this on Teacher as Transformer and commented:
    I think more about creativity and what it means. I also wonder when creativity eludes me what that means. I need the time to sit and be quiet. It is in those moments that creativity finds her way back, but I only notice if I am present and fully aware. All my senses act in this welcome return.
