Music moves me what about you?
Music and your muse
What moves you to write?
What puts your pen in gear?
Your muse you say! Hmmm!
Muse is the root word to
many things like Music
musing, museum, amusing
etc.
So then, what moves your muse?
makes you feel something
is it Music?
Music moves the world in
one way or another
Music makes you feel
one thing or the other
So music moves your muse
and your muse moves
your pen.
Music makes you think
makes you muse.
If music is funny and
you don't have to think
is that why they call it
amusing?
If you listen to the blues
then you may give your muse
the blues, then you will
write sad words of truth.
If you listen to rock music
you are rocking your muse
you may end up writing
views dazed and confused
If you listen to classical music
your muse may be beholden
when listening to beethoven
and be emboldened to write
words that are golden
If you listen to jazz music
all jazzed up and improvised
your muse will be enthused
and your writing more stylized
So next time you wonder
what moves you to ponder
about what moves your muse
put on some music
classical, rock or the blues
and put on your dancing shoes
Then put your pen in your hand
see what ink on the page lands
let your music move your muse.
