WINDS OF CHANGE by Mark MaxeyDid you ever notice how the wind sweeps in
and out
but never seen
yet it is refreshing
reenergizing
and even carries things further along than before?
Creativity is like that
in its divineness it enters our lives
changes the present
and sometimes carries us beyond our present condition
It moves from the oddest places
through even the most unlikely of persons
and sometime
when we least expect it
Oh we can be stubborn
and fight it
wrestle it
twist it
and damn it
we resist it
as if we could
fight with the intangible
Creativity is a gift
changes are inevitable
it has not shape
no form
no visible sign
but it’s the most powerful
divine
supernatural
entity in our midst
And when we embrace it
when we flow with it
we find our lives moving
in the direction of our heart
desires
dreams
and yes, we become who we really are
Oh yes, have you ever tried to change its direction?
never realizing it was leading us where we should be?
this is always where we need to be
where we exist as we were created to be
becoming true
alive
real
ourselves
Wrestling instead of embracing
Fighting instead of accepting
Moving instead of flowing
Hurting instead of loving
Defying instead of adoring
Winds of change
creativity in its glory
becoming our true nature
explore this surge
plunge into its depthness
and become who you truly are
that is our life
that is where we are
that is the winds of creativity

Posted by Michelle Angelini on 01/29/05 at 06:31 PM Mark, I enjoyed reading your poem. In fact, I'm reading it tonight at the reading in Hollywood, since it relates to what's going on there - a group of poets reading their work and having a great time. Also, the title reminded me of a song by that name. ;-)
