OUR IMAGES

Deep inside the heart of us.
Lives the image of the Creator.
Creativity dreaming to be loosed,
Longing to be at liberty
To concoct something different.
New images.
Fresh forms to portray, describe, depict
Images.
Expressions of seeking souls to be unveiled
In pen and paint, type and fabric,
In stone, metal, hype and plastic.
Duplicating our Creator’s creation
Ever-inquiring, ever-inquisitive,
Our hearts desire, our minds create
His images.
Our hands produce, our machines construct
Images.
We have increasing capacity to invent,
To inspire a new entity, novel and unique,
Never done, never before a part of us.
We devise because we are increasingly curious.
We elaborate our ear-tickling tales of
Astounding adjectives or violent verbs.
Of ringing rhymes or pleasant prose,
Accurate, admirable accounts,
Fabricating far-fetched fiction.
We have collaborated
Images.
Eye-pleasing canvases
Washed with clarion colors or pale pastels.
Muted murals and proud portraits.
Soothing and satisfying,
Stained slates of illustration.
We have fabricated
Images.
Skin-stirring sensations,
Carefully carved or meticulously molded.
Welded wonders; touchable textiles.
Startling statues and bold bastions of bas-relief.
 
 
The image of the Creator.
That sixth sense ability
Of talent deep inside yearning to be loosed
Hoping to be unleashed to form original works;
To frame and cast, compose and shape
Red-hot, radical and revolutionary
Imprints on humanity.
These images.
From author, inventor, sculptor, engineer
From weaver, painter, poet, pioneer.
Duplicating our Creator’s creation.
Contriving composites and divine designs
To formulate, manipulate and stimulate
Our images.
