Creative Genius

Creative genius
Is all around us
If we care to look.
It is not a property
Of uncommon intelligence,
But of ordinary people
Pursuing their passions,
And allowing
Their minds to play.
It is people
Clearing the cobwebs
Of conventional thinking
From their brains,
And putting
Their hearts and souls
Into what they do.
Creative genius
Is the audacity
To try something new,
And the willingness
To strive for perfection.
It can be seen
In art of every persuasion,
In theater, music,
Literature, film and dance.
It is at the heart
Of innovative design
And elegance of style.
Creative genius
Can often be seen
In advertising,
And sometimes
Even in simple things
Like the work of a chef.
