The Creative
The Bacon Cat Legging Society
I was born to create
to think in lines
that coil
to wonder
if there even is
a box
to weave together
a tapestry
of words
that somehow
make cents
out of the priceless
parts of being
to stitch together
hearts
from collective
broken pieces
to sweep up
shards
of soulful reflections
from the mess
and the chaos
and declare
There is beauty here!!
to wear vulnerability
as a shield
and wield naked truth
like a sword
to live authentically
in a place between wonder
and daydream
that glows golden
with crystalline echoes
that sing
of a world
that could be.
to find roots in every
vintage thing
and ancient place
whose ghosts whisper
of someone who mattered
to someone there
once
to leave a legacy
of new age adages
among which we can say
we were born to create

Let’s get one thing straight: Peridot isn’t just a gemstone. It’s a whole mood. The color of envy, abundance, grass-stained knees, summer’s last laugh, and the green spark of magic that lives under your skin when no one’s looking. Which makes it a perfect prompt for August - that bittersweet threshold between peak heat and first harvest, where we start turning inward while still dripping with sweat and sunscreen.

Stunned with awe ... just so incredible! There is so much in this about what it can feel like being creative and using our creativity, the idea we are 'born to create' is such a beautiful concept that I just love! 🩷 and to 'make cents out of the priceless' ... my goodness what powerful words! Everything creatives make is truly priceless, yet how many of us wish to make more cents (and dollars) from it (mostly so we don't have to do other things!) Becoming slightly obsessed with your poems 🩷
