Creativity 

In a garden light petals dance in free space 
Colors of a diamond's dazzling rays 
Blood red, indigo, golden yellow, blue 
Flow the energies of a divine hand 
Thrust inward, outward, divining life 
The earth, warm to the heat of the sun 

In a garden I will wander free from fear 
Captured by the welcoming shadows 
The green fragrance, the perfumed desire 
Of beauty born and embraced 
A cascade of birth and color, free 
The gift of the earth in the sun's amber 

In a garden beauty resides, lives and dies 
Rests, is re-created in multiple forms 
Here, as I wander, I see the meaning 
The restless yearning for perfection 
In imperfection lives the heart of yearning 
Longing for the touch, the beauty of life's Creativity
