Writer
I start a sentence with a half-formed thought
And the sentence takes me on a journey I had not
Anticipated at all- I let the sentence lead me
To write the whole paragraph, or verse, as the case may be
My writing acquires wings and takes a life of its own
My only contribution is the initial idea whose seeds I have sown
*
Dramatist
I conjure up two characters and try to write
A dialogue between them, at first it appears trite
But soon the characters become well-defined
And just like that, a story between them they find
When I try to write further, my characters dictate
How they behave, they almost determine their own fate
*
Actor
I rehearse my lines, I try to get under the skin
Of my character, gradually the character draws me in
When I emote on the stage, the character I portray
Determines how I come across in the play
I become the character I am playing, he is me
In my best performance we are intertwined inextricably
*
The creative process we consciously initiate
But our creations help us sustain and propagate
Our craft- we become observers of our own imagination
And develop an endless supply of inspiration..
Passion...unbridled
