Entire Texts Are Given To Me

Woke up with words to a poem Fully formed, Muse was whispering final line. As my eyes popped open. All but a wisp of this knowing Disappeared in the ether Before I could slap water on my face. Almost totally gone, Before coffee. I have no doubt Entire texts Are given to me By faeries, elves and muses As I slumber. I am feeling So loved. Thank you, Spirit Guides.

I must confess that my best inspirations come when I'm in the shower - I guess that's where my muse hangs out. So I don't have to rely on those elusive dreams. Great write. PS perhaps you may like to read my poem 'Shadow Muse' At times she does get a bit playful ...Maria

Thank you, Silent One. I think poets hear a voice, and oftentimes it's one know without knowing how we know.

Thank you, Line. It came to me way after the final line, so I have no idea if it's the poem they gave me.

I experience your poem many times, half the time I can't recall what came to mind...When I do...I'm lucky...All the best Caren

Thank you Arturo. I wonder if we DO retain them, just aren't aware?
