When does the magic of ideation unfold?
Ideas come and ideas go
they sail in the void inbetween
for us to reach out to
as we grapple at the blue sky
to catch hold of some
.
They are found by those
who believe they exist
Ideation
is a lot like magic.
.
The ideas dancing before me
are remains of things
I have seen, read, experienced
They tease my memory
as I catch a wisp
the end of a tail or a whisker
and bring it before me.
.
It’s not a flame
instead, a spark
awaiting another
.
You add some sugar
to my spice
it’s alighting all right
She who can mould forms
adds a lampshade to our flame
He who knows his colours
paints the lantern in motifs
familiar to those
who may use this light.
.
The mighty authors say
great ideas don’t make
great books
.
It’s when it all
comes together
as a greater whole
That’s when
the magic unfolds.
.
Come, ideate with me.
