Evolve, Devolve, Revolve Competition Entry

Ah, what bliss it is to play with thoughts,
Words, phrases and lovely music notes—
A better mind-game I cannot name!
And when out of these mental games
My newly conceived piece evolves
My spirit soars and my heart glows.
And I’m impressed that—at most times,
Lines flow in alive and kicking rhymes!

These words are being often said:
‘Nothing comes from nothing’ right?
But satisfying my curiosity might
Need to quite indefinitely wait
Till Science might deem to investigate
How thoughts in our brains originate.

But while I wait, I often celebrate
That my playful mind loves to create!
So when poem lines form in my head
Or embryos of melodies, happy or sad,
My fingers itch to type arriving thoughts
And eagerly play out fresh music notes.

When Science will wish to research how Arts
And Creativity affect our minds and hearts—
I’ll be the first eager volunteer to take part!
