The Gravedigger's Masterpiece

When imagination leaps into the air, I'll be the first one to grasp it by the throat. When my hands are around his throat, I'll look into the eyes of imagination and ask him questions. I'll ask him how much of it can I steal once the circulation is cut off. I'll ask if anyone will miss him when he's gone. His voice is faint and he is losing air. I will let go of him and hover above his body as he lays there staring at the sky. I'll look at him and recite, "Imagination, what is that you wonder?" He'll open his mouth , without taking his eyes from the sky, and reply, "I wonder how many years will it take to build a ladder to touch the sky. I wonder how many miles I would have to travel to experience life. I wonder because I imagine. I imagine because it's the truth that you seek and need."

When creativity rains down, I"l be the first to open my mouth to take in every drop. My stomach will be full of tiny drops of creativity and when each one is ingested, they divide themselves to each extreme of my body. They sit and they wait. Waiting to be used, waiting to create something beautiful. I'll stride through life with those drops of creativity inside of me. I can create a masterpiece with them, I can let them turn into waste and create nothing. They rain down every morning before the sun comes up , and each morning I sit and watch them hit the earth. They are absorbed by the flowers, the grass, the trees. They are taken in by the bees, the birds, the humans. Creativity is in anything and everything. It's in the most beautiful aspects of life, and in the worst aspects. Ingest the drops that rain upon this beloved earth and create. Be a creator of a masterpiece, be a beholder of a creation.

Imagine and create. Imagine you had wings and instead of wasting days, you could lift your head up to the sky, spread your wings, and see the world. Manufacture these wings and take off. The wings of passions, the wings of a dream, the wings of your inner strength to overcome hardships. Find the materials for these wings and set your imagination to flight.

Imagine and create. Imagine if you could love your enemies just as much as you love your friends. What a world it would be if we could only imagine such a thing and create it. We each have our flaws and we are different in personality, but not creation. Judgments and criticism have no place here. Instead of picking each other apart like a farmer in an apple orchard, let's understand and respect. Let's understand the situations we all go through. Let's respect the differences and form a unity. What is a world without organized unity? It's the world we are living in now, which is being ripped apart by our hands. Our hands are growing tired and our minds are growing weary. We must unite and we must offer a limb to our fellow neighbor. Offering a limb, not literally speaking, but sacrificing something of ours to help. Sacrifices no longer exist simply because greed has taken over. Let us sacrifice and let us offer guidance and safety to those around us. If one can't offer anything, then respect each other with the same guidelines that one wants to be respected. Imagine and create this world and it will become a creation of our generation.

The power to create and imagine is our greatest gift. It sets us apart from the beasts, but we are putting it to waste. All one has to do is imagine a goal, and create a path to reach it. Some goals may be more difficult to reach but the creation will be created if determination is tuned in correctly. The control is in our hands and the masterpieces are waiting to be painted.

Imagine and create.
