Doing something

Just to check a box

Doesn't feel real.

Real creativity and human impulse

Has no timeline

Has no box that needs to be checked.

It has no fear of failure or need for habit

It is simply a spark that jumps off of you

After bumping into something…

A spark that can't help but fly

To the long-held ideas and constructs

Which serve as kindling

And only once it has burned off 

An old dry part of you

Does the creative act feel complete.
