Enriched Soul




To be creative is to be curious
Not to be rogue or deemed furious.
But what truly does this mean to us?
Let’s untangle this rope that surrounds us.

For me,
Creativity is channelled from within
A gateway that shows us something can begin
Taking in what you have seen
Translating your footsteps and where you have been
Observing all current situations and being very keen.

Your thoughts are in a multiplex of a dimension
To say the least this is you’re platter of inventions
with such brilliance and levels of retention
Once you put your mind to it and all your attention
your creativity can blast through and still be in your possession.

But creativity lacks body if not well apprehended.
For there to be a trigger
Of a plan or even something bigger
There has to be a reason that leads
To these productive seeds

It takes a man to raise the sword
But it takes a warrior to seize the moment and hold the fire.

What do I mean by this?
Well many of us are quick to utter on what is subjective
but forget to step back and look at what is objective.
But why do we choose to lunge forth and be invective,
Instead of using that time to be reflective?

It is said that to be an introvert is to portray reservation
Not seen to converse much or indulge in anything of this relation.
While on the flip side, an extrovert to be expressive with little limitation
known to be outgoing and built on a confident foundation.

So to this I take on a challenge;
An introvert in mind but an extrovert in soul.
Keen to listen, observe and understand
Appreciate others opinion without being subjective
Understand the situation while being objective
Utter in turn based on solid foundation on what is comprehensive
Value any response; good or bad without being defensive.

When information given is less than information taken,
then wisdom comes into play when information is turned to knowledge.
When knowledge and wisdom begin to paint a picture
A creative mind, body and soul is emitted.

Creativity isn’t just what you perceive,
It’s what you set to achieve by understanding what lies within.


Information becoming knowledge through wisdom of understanding
Creativity coming to life through appreciating the underlying
Epitome of brilliance not by words spoken but by soulful rays emitted.
