To artists and poets

CREATE!
 Make things Paint things Write things dance and move

Dance and fly

Let creativity flow…flow.

But why so hard? How can it be?

When that stirring deep within of image and idea

of desire to make

to make something……….beautiful

boils up inside; you hide.

There seems no space

no way out. To travail in birth, to bring forth in the earth.

O take fight, rise up eagle high,

dance through the sky,

twisting and turning, a ballet of colour filling the heavens.

In purple billows and indigo swishes tinted with gold.

Fly fly.

You were born to create, to make,

to turn hidden treasure into manifest matter.

Fly fly

Release the words, the colour,

express

from the depths.

Fight to write,

in love the light and the dark of life.

Be opened up.

Hear the permission, the invitation

and let go.

And I will not judge.

Tenderly I will receive and touch your treasure,

the measure of your pain your joy, and your life.

In courage you dare to share with the world,

your heart in paint and word.

I commend you in your holy task,

and ask,

NEVER STOP CREATING!

Welcome to my new blog

Early morning, Stanley Common Blubell woods

Welcome to my new blog!

I’m hoping it will be an encouragement to artists of faith, and no faith.

Bearing the image of the Creator God, though we are fallen, through Christ there’s a path strewn with joy and pain, that draws us into expression.

I found this poem when I cleared out the car boot this week. I must have writen it ages ago……..I dont clear the boot very often!
