THE CREATOR ROLE

There’s so much that can’t be said with words

That’s why us poets spend our lives writing

Thinking we might be able to maneuver them just right

to add just enough space

to say just the right thing

to bring life between the syllables

There’s so much that is experienced below the surface

That’s why artists will spend all of humanity’s time creating

Hoping we might be able to paint a picture filled with just enough to remind us all of what’s missing

what we know is there but could never explain

what makes us human

what makes us alive
