Whence It All Arises

The mundane world of details
yields only to the imagination.
Facts do not make a life;
events alone cannot explain a human.
A butterfly is just an insect
until the tale teller awakens its potential;
a lover is just a lump of flesh
until a story renders her beautiful.
The fictions we create generate a reality
beyond the dreary limitations of mere truth.
Knowing only the particulars
amounts to knowing nothing.
Lift your brush and paint a scene;
speak your words and create a world.
