Creativity

Experience contains all my physical senses but what of mind which can be gone while body is always present? Which of the two is knowledge base-- idea or past experience? Which: Dream or the Concrete? But note  my idea of you this day may be different on tomorrow but you will not have changed-- only my thought of you made in my mental mode shifted. Some answer both coincide; that it is possible-- both cover our experiential ground. We are who we dream ourselves to be and we are also  who we seem to be-- interesting to note we're all our past present and future simultaneously by this test; we exist inside this contradiction which states: I can see myself as I am not yet for this is  what it means to dream; but I alas  am now only my experiences now and past. Surely this cannot be unless in dreaming my future me I am thereby changed... A conclusion here truly revolutionary. Can the dream of the poet for that which does not exist by dreaming thus change the poet's dream  now to realty?   Fire us the engine then we call progress coming; Fire now the proclamation of universal genius-- because we all dream. Hoist us now  dreamers's dream-- alchemy from which all creation comes; dreamers dream into the void and by doing so remake self and world a miracle is thus drawn from nothingness entering then reality, by another name we call creativity.
