Absorbed

10/8/11

It's fascinating phenomenon

to be consumed

during creative process,

where mind dances

between brain hemispheres

making decisions based

on intuition, reason,

calmly drawing from

well of inspiration,

fluidly timing actions

within ebb, flow,

even when challenges

bringing seemingly contrary

circumstance to ponder

provoke acute attention

toward details unfolding,

held strictly, loosely,

depending puzzle piece

being dealt with

and final result

anticipated, not seen

until last stroke

of genius channeled

through my senses

as Life Force

I'm absorbed in.
