Coaxing It Out

It is delicate and fragile,

This imaginary creation,

We must be gentle with this creature.

 

We four creators sweat and breathe unconsciously,

We are unified; mesmerized by it.

It is delicate and fragile to hold.

 

At first it scampered around the room, scattered off the walls,

It nearly slipped from between our cupped fingers.

We must be gentle with our creature.

 

We have brought it to life, colorful and vivid

Fluid motion and sound, right before our wide eyes.

It is delicate and fragile to hold.

 

Our fingers clutch it precariously,

One missed beat and could vanish or ******* it,

We must be gentle with our creature.

 

It is distinctly unique, exclusively different,

It is energy and existence glowing primordially.

It is delicate and fragile to hold,

We must be gentle with our creature.
