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.

Maria Williams Date: 3/11/2018 4:23:00 AM 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.

Silent One Date: 3/10/2018 5:22:00 PM This happens to me also!!! My best poetry comes to me whilst I am in bed... great poem Caren.. Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/11/2018 5:07:00 AM Thank you, Silent One. I think poets hear a voice, and oftentimes it's one know without knowing how we know.

Line Gauthier Date: 3/10/2018 3:55:00 PM Very sweet. A delightful poem, Caren. Well done. Inspired. Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/11/2018 5:07:00 AM 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.

Arturo Michael Date: 3/10/2018 3:24:00 PM 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 Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/10/2018 7:05:00 PM Thank you Arturo. I wonder if we DO retain them, just aren't aware?
