Lightning Strikes

The Muse has decided to arrive A blast of creative energy comes to me So I pick up a pen and paper Write down what I must The years roll by quickly But some moments seem to defy Father Time The Muse comes at will to those who hear its call Now the sky is dark in the city But my mind is lit up and I drink deeply of the Muse's wine Stronger than earthly alcohol The Muse brings joy to those who feel the power it generates from the heavens

Oh you describe this so well Matthew. I know that it doesn't matter what i', doing if the inspiration hits me I have to write it down right then or I lose it. That's how I know it doesn't come from me. It isn't a talent, it's a gift. great job here. God Bless and a big 7 from me. JB
