Changing Pace

Really!?
Ideas in my brain, 
huddled in darkened corners
of a mind that was
focused on other things,
stir slowly as I gather home into a stew pot for my supper.

Like impatient thoroughbreds,
they jockey restlessly into the starting gate of a race toward action settling and sorting themselves into interesting 
arrays of pacing not racing.

Ideas in my brain,
when I patiently set them free in
curlicues of word, colour and music,
decorate and fill my life with 
the fascination of creativity.

“That’s the great secret of creativity. You treat 
ideas like cats: you make them follow you.”
~ Ray Bradbury,  Zen in the Art of Writing
