Why does it need catalysts?
It emanates from the soul,
Like the anger of a volcano,
Like the lump in your throat,
Like the tears that transcend,
the smile that extends,
beyond the sphere of expectation.
It gushes out before you know it,
Like love at first sight,
Like the art which caught unawares,
Like the words of regret,
Like the sand in an hourglass,
Like the moments of happiness,
Like the poetry, that emerges,
from within. From the beyond.


The author's comments:
I was having a conversation with one of my friends and he was describing how great artists like Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison have all taken to drugs; which is when I started wondering if creativity needed such a 'worldly' high to flow.
