Challenge Poem # 24
                                       =============

                                       I 'll court the muse

                                      Come, take my hand

                               And lead me to the promise land

                             Where tears become a rose's petals

                              And every scar the victor's medals

                              Don't explain why you were gone

                           But meet me, Muse, at dusk and dawn

                                I will not ask for fear you'll stay

                                  Away, another dreadful day

                                Oh, ever you so dear to me

                               Appearing in my life so early

                         And at your hand and sweet request

                          I penned your words, I did my best

                            But here you are, I feel you near

                        Oh Muse, my muse, I'm glad you're here



                                              C.P. # 25
                                               =====


                              I walked beneath the stars tonight

                               To catch a breath of sheer delight

                                     I thought I saw a firefly

                               Come wisping gently from the sky

                                She landed gently near my heart

                               Amusing words she would impart

                                    A fairy light? A tiny star?

                                      Oh Muse! It's you!

                                      Oh! Here you are!!!
