My Muse Was Not Amused
My Muse Was Not Amused
ME: "Muse, I cannot write those words!
What thoughts would he think of me?"
MUSE: "Child, you must not be absurd.
Allow my spirit to set you free."
ME: "But what if he doesn't understand?
I fear to write what I dread to say."
MUSE: "Trust and let him take your hand.
He'll not lead your heart astray."
ME: "What if he's turned away, and it's too late?
Perhaps he gave up and has found another."
MUSE: "What ifs and perhaps? Open your garden gate.
Lie in the arms of one who wants to be your lover."
ME: "Thank you, Mother Muse, for your gentle thought."
MUSE: "Keep them folded, daughter, always in your heart."
