From A Fredericka’s Forged in Pensive Spirit
My Turn
A lifetime worth of skillfulness
stayed covered and stood still.
Now, dear friends, prepare yourselves
for pours and overspill.
The father of creation
gifted his imagination
and gave me every tool I need
to suit my application.
Imagination
Imaginative pictures inspired artistry,
connecting thoughts to instruments
found the skills within me,
but many never realized
for reasons you can’t see.
No longer in repression;
now, I have set them free.
