Muse-Ic

You inspired me to scribble on paper with ink
                                     Telling me never to think
            About what to say so with that no heavy burden does my pen write
                  Clear of head clear of heart clear with bliss does my hand do part
                                No thought of hand or brain may see 
                             again my hand goes back to thee
                                A new muse have I sought
                         With each and every word I am taught 
                                A new lesson a skill if you must
                             Happy I listened for my hand did trust
                              I wrote for days into nights it seems
                           Not quite sure what was real or just dreams
                             
                                                                  Inspired by Muse and Music

Another good poem (and fun wordplay in your title). Our muse really is like someone taking complete control over you ... rarely is it difficult, but nearly always free-flowing. You write well on this topic.

Ha, I like the double transaction. I wish I was hit with the both at the same time. My muse and music. However, Justin to be honest, I don't have a muse. Music is distracting. I tried it a few times and i was lost into the music instead. I envy you. Love LINDA
