Comtemplation on Creativity

By Terri Miller

Splash
A textile stretched frame
Color floating on fibers
Drawn by oxen hairs
Arced, swirled and daubed
Conforming to
Rectangular nature
Keeping within the bounds
While flying across the cosmos
Imagined possibilities
Expanding
Contracting
Finding their place
In composition
Until the brush
At rest it lays
Quiet
Silently discontent
Relenting
Assembled work
Receives its authors scratch
A reluctant pronouncement
Sentence passed
On to the
Hanging
