Conception of an Artist

The psychology of creativity is in its essence feminine because the creative world of art leaps from the unconscious depths, that is, from the domain of mothers. Carl Jung 

As if from the womb, she leaps 

Armed with implements of balladry,  
Within her fingers' grip; 

In timeless time 
She was immersed in mystery 

Siphoning sounds into her chemistry - 

Those murmurs from another world, 

Resonant  

Upon her liquid tongue; 

A luminescence guides her, 

Beyond her pool of incubation,  

Into waterways unknown; 

Her lungs expand  

And vibrate  

As her hands glide 

Over ebony  

And parchment  

Where she fully comes to life
