To My Fellow Poets

Here I am alone with pen and paper
in front of me 
You know the feeling 
You sit there and pray 
that the Muse will speak to you 
The Muse may come today 
A fiery time of creation may be emerging 
Or the muse may be silent 
Leaving us lost in front of 
a sheet of blank paper 
Fellow poets 
Do not despair!
For the Muse knows who you are 
And will appear 
when most needed 
as always

True, although, mine seems to enjoy keeping me awake at night, writing and painting. Enjoyed.
