An Ode to Conceptualization

Pencil poised,gazing into space,
listening to my thoughts;
waiting to hear
what they have to say.
Soul searching,
that is soul soothing.
A special process
of self examination
and introspection.
thinking of thoughts
thought about already,
or waiting to be thought.
As I think about these thoughts,
I am the thoughts
I am thinking.
the more I think,
the more I find.
the more I uncover,
the more there is to discover.
Reviewing this world within,
to help reveal the world outside.
My mind is a question mark,
so as to find the correct answer.
My mind examines and defines the problem,
so as to discover the solution.
Sooner or later...
a vision
unencumbered by sight,
suddenly appears.
My mind expands,
only to converge.
Finally focused,
idea found.
The abstract made real.
The random organized.
Putting my finger on something
that cannot normally be touched.
Quickly capture the thought
before it disappears
as fast as it materialized.
Paper remembers,
I forget.
Do you know this feeling,
that magical moment
when fantasy meets reality?
When what could be, becomes what is..
When the crystallization of a concept occurs.
Making the invisible, seen.
Making the unknowing, known.
Making the unworkable, workable.
the externalization of thought.
thinking things into existence.
Creating a tangible from the abstract.
Conceptualization,
when an idea is first conceived.
