Being creative
is part of the plan,
part of the everyday joy,
not for some but not others —
a primal fact of life

You are creative as dandelions,
as flickers and robins,
as today’s breath of wind
and quiet rain

You are creative
as the delighted adaptation
of everything
to the moment’s confluences —

It is your due
that every step be creative,
as needed as comfort,
as close as home.
