Midnight Muse

So subtle
          the undertow;
               guiding
    thoughts that descend
        below awareness-
         Wayward words
               drifting
          within dreams,
               rife with
          random verse…
            then upward,
      rhyming as they soar; 
    fresh consciousness astir.
                  Rise-
         inspiration wakes!

Congratulations. I do love this. Seems a Yalto is a good way of coaxing a Muse out of hiding. SuZ
