ode to creation

​by Zee

it starts with a spark 
a simple little flicker of an idea
to make something out of nothing
this spark sends electricity up throughout 
their bodies to light a fire in their hearts

their movement become silent poetry
displayed in bursts and turns
telling stories dipped in curious discovery
and confined fear and learning to love once again
on a staged canvas made for them

their stories turns our gray-scale society into a blend
of crimsons and brilliant oranges and crystallized blues
it makes plants realize they’re green
gives people warmth to their cheeks
these stories pull in wide eyed children to grand jeté like them
to pirouette like them
to have the lights shine on them making the
sparkles on their costume cascade onto stage

their electricity bounces off of them
sticks onto us and sends a jolt to awaken our minds
remind our heart why it’s still beating
it inspires many and bring joy to more
it’s for artists to discover, define, associate,
recreate, and make their own
