! (Eureka)
The originating fire of creation
Reaches into the depths of imagination
When an innovative idea is trapped
Like faraway music lost in a fog
In the distance I hear the prologue
Magical ingenuity awaits to be tapped
It lingers dormant with intention
Anticipating the flash of invention
Before it swiftly hits the mark
It slowly sets the wheels in motion
Formulating the intended notion
Fueling and working every single part
The inspiration rises to the surface
Like light with committed purpose
Deep from the subconscious and the heart
Without shape but taking form
The idea soon will be born
When suddenly there it is, the spark
Then everything falls right into place
Like good fortune and noble grace
The revelation can leave me astounded
And in that second of clarity and lucidity
Everything makes sense with simplicity
When on the spur of the moment Eureka!
I found it

Hello, Wallyroo,
This unique and fun poem brings to mind a couple thoughts and scenarios for me.
In a way, it makes me think of the big bang theory. A complex "happening" beyond all imagination. And in another sense, I think of the process of even a simple idea that comes to mind in our daily lives.
I really like the title, including the placement of the exclamation point!
Thank you,
L

Thank you so much Lavender.
I know the approach to writing for many of us can be similar but when that poem or idea comes to mind it's more than the lightbulb going off in our head, it really illuminates a world inside of us. I took the idea from a musical show which influenced me to express this idea, this emotion.
