The Creative Flow

Let there be.
Not, there MUST be.
Not, I want there to be.
But LET...there be.

Not command but expression
flowing out of all that I am.
Light from my Light.
Being from my Being.
Simplicity and grandeur all rolled into one.

Nothing hindering, no one to challenge.
Beauty from Beauty.
Strength from Strength.
Structure and order from infinite mind.

Relationship given, knowledge imparted.
A world set in place. How could it be other?

In a list

    I like this.

    "Relationship given, knowledge imparted.

    Sounds like words from the blessed family line of intelligent design.

    Wow. You really ran with the prompt quite well. Seems so to be an easy concept. This poem sheds light on the ill effects of hidden and perhaps not-so-hidden agendas, competition, and fast-paced lives. Thought provoking.

      Hmmm. Now you've provoked thought in me, since your thoughts never occurred to me in the writing. I had in mind the speaking into being of creation itself as recorded in Genesis of the Bible, where God spoke and said, "Let there be light, and there was light." The other aspect being the creative flow that comes forth out of us in a similar way, the expression of who we are.

    Wonderful

    Aww this is more like a prayer, but so terrific in its meaning. What a great flow through your words. So very creative and well written. And so well expressed. Best of luck in the contest.

  • We are, in ourselves, a creation, it's not surprising to me that you'd want that greatness to flow outward to be seen and felt. I see it as "pure beauty" where you shake fee everything from it but that beauty. It's an intriguing idea and poem.

    Hear, hear!

    "Let there be" indeed! Makes a rousing rally cry for purity and creation uninhibited. I like the way you stated it better, in several ways, "light from my light", "being from my being", "simplicity and grandeur all rolled into one"----I'd have to rewrite the whole poem here to list them all! This poem is "beauty from beauty" and "strength from strength". I love its heart and its spirit.
