Notes About The Poem

Muse of Mine

My imagination runs wild as soon as I wake
       Nature often shakes my dormant muse awake 
                 It could be just a flash of insight
            It could be scenic wonders in plain sight
                 It magically kindles fire within me
               It unexpectedly greets me with glee
          Sometimes awakened by deeply-felt passion
               Sometimes it's written in a sky ashen
        Life, emotions, and images help fuel my creativity 
      I never force my muse; I let it rest when in captivity.
