Muse

Muse
===================
Just an un-thought thought.
The least touch of a feather or
draught from
           the beating wing of a bird;
A telescope taking focus on
     Saturn's rings,
     resolved in image,
          cut and colour.

The idea gestating in a crate
     sealed shut under a slatted grate
asking to be prised apart with a
     number nine tyre iron as

the gyrating stars gazed down
     upon nothing,
rounding Earth's scimitar sharp crescent
      with an ineffable and total
      cosmic indifference.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
