The creative First Draft of Everything
Is truly such a wondrous thing.
It is so joyful,
So very hopeful,
Like the first night,
Somewhat frightful but full of delight!
Is truly such a wondrous thing.
It is so joyful,
So very hopeful,
Like the first night,
Somewhat frightful but full of delight!
Out of the mystery and grey confusion
You want clarity, precision and fusion.
Though rather apprehensive
You want to be expressive.
Some time you may get it wrong,
But you come back anew and strong.
You want clarity, precision and fusion.
Though rather apprehensive
You want to be expressive.
Some time you may get it wrong,
But you come back anew and strong.
With all the research and groundwork you've done,
You should know how your battle will be won.
You forge ahead fearlessly,
Looking for internal consistency,
Walking with Muse who leads the way --
Through sweat, tears and laughter, she'll make your day.

Listen, and this hear,
All those who have ear--
Lao Zi, the old sage,
So wittily say,
"The journey of a thousand mile
Starts with your first step all the while." **
