Would I know myself before my creation?: A poem 

Would I know if imagination came first 

before I lay the sentence to rest 

on a page that awaits its life 

with the drop of ink on it? 

Everything is a cinematic ideograph 

finding its expression in its interpretation 

But is your interpretation true to the idea that  

was actually formulated, and could be misrepresented 

Could you answer this, or conjecture? 

I still can’t figure it out! Though I know it all began with me! 

I can see that everyone loves to map out eventualities, 

but I am sworn to the humble point of beginning 

Yet, my every word spawned its object 

And was such existence existing in its prior existence? 

How can you be certain that every barrier you break 

not have a fulcrum before you thought it was motioned? 

There is truth in the philosophy of Plato (Aristotle?) 

that all form had already existed in the original mind 

And you could say, the creator draped in his creation 

and became his artwork himself 

Until it was stolen, hijacked, misappropriated, poisoned! 

You can see creator became prisoner 

but he still reworks, like the hands shut within a clock 

the passage of such a destiny, to avoid a big rip 

His clarion call soulfully piping 

a tune to take his dream back to its source!

I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
