Creativity Matters Poem by Vinaya Joseph

Can a bird,
Realize the potential of its wings
Inside a cage?
Can creativity be taught in a classroom?
Basics, yes may be

Does art have limit?
Be it film, literature, painting,
Photography, music or dance…
Yes, may be
But then
You need to explore,
The infinite
Dig deep,
Into your self,
And your surroundings,
To find the real treasures

If you have to standout,
You need to be different,
Unique in your own ways,
Non-conforming to standards,
And be original
Then the passion,
The drive and the madness,
Reflects in your work of art

Some say,
Beaten tracks,
Do not lead to new pastures,
Or fresh woods…
So true,
You need to take risks
For some gains

While, I say
We need to blend,
Our past experience,
With our present,
To craft something new,
For releasing
That creative energy
Gifted to all
By the creator! ! !
