To Muse Or Not

To Muse Or Not I write a new poem to stay spiritually free no denying this wonderful urge in me Sent from an invisible gifted and guiding muse my body and willing mind she so cleverly use I write to stay healthy and joyfully alert a joy when ignored that so greatly hurts O' love of life keep well my devoted muse obedience to the whims of she that I choose Standing in my realm to obey her sweet hand marching to the rhythm of her glorious band Often the urge leads me to sing and dance I await for her consent to give me my chance Perhaps it all comes from within my very own heart I wonder even if my sweet muse plays any part?
