Why are the traits of creativity and insanity An hourglass and sand Is it an unintended genetic defect? Or a simple wonderment of man An anomaly of nature A chemical imbalance in the Ribonucleic acid A minuscule knot in the DNA strands Many minds revered and unknown don the genius crown The emotive disturbing creations of Goya’s dark-stained hands The deaf Beethoven composing the illustrious symphonies of sound The imagery of Hemingway before he felt disposed to lay the pencil down Leonardo da Vinci the scientist and painter who dreamt of Mars The Kaleidoscope of inventors, poets, visual and musical artists The unseen silent ones who walk among us Who glimpse and grasp for that which lies in secret even beyond the stars They socialize freely with death and depression That colors that taunt the fingers and feed the obsession The impeccable word so elusive often sought in panic Never-ending questions of the universe that must be answered So comes the genesis of the melancholy, bipolar. schizoid and the manic Why are creativity and insanity An hourglass and sand Is it an inherited genetic defect?
