Madness in Creativity

Madness takes over

all sensibilities out

creativity

Creativity

dissects all of the madness

offers clarity

Clarity, crisp sweet

as crystal clear as oceans

*

Bliss brings quiet peace

to uneasy busy minds

then madness dies down

*

Dies down, short reprieve

for a refresh and a grasp

grasp at sanity

*
