Creative Stew

Everything we create

Starts out in the mind

As something we see

Or hear, smell, or feel

But making it real

Bringing it out in the air

For others to share

Is a challenging task

When buried inside

Most ideas are chaotic

Whimsically organized

Mercurial and quixotic

A bubbling brew

Of well-meaning stew

That must be seasoned just right

Before we serve it to you

The viewer

The listener

The reader

The thinker

The wearer

The buyer

The taster

The drinker

That mysterious process

Is the suspension bridge

That every creative

Must build and then cross

The better we build it

The stronger we make it

The more we produce

And the less that gets lost
