Musing On the Muse of Your Words

Musing on The Muse of Your Words

All the flowers of Epiphany
I have designed and collected
The flowing words through ink 
Came to me
Unbidden and as yet unwritten or encapsulated

They lay sanguine indistinct 
And are birthed in paper clues
I do not own their pages
This is merely the partnership
Of a Muse

Some inspiration enters
From the outside
A veiling source connect
Is and is not mine
And on their fluid heat ride my ballpoints 
Roller coasters of emotions shine

Gratitude
As I repeat their typing 
In electrifying fonts
As I wait for the mutterings
Tiny voices of humming songs

No not mine
Me
I simply release them
Words I just speak for them
I love to see them
Gather their own brilliance
And trip their way
Through other eyes

Without them my inadequate lips bumble
And through the dictionary
My heart catches the stumble
On the compelling entreaties of beauty

Belonging in another passage
Where I hang my thoughts out to air
They flow their own way through me
Divulging and deliberating their message

My voice would be silent but for them
I am the too quiet and untroubled man
Yet they race to discover an impression
Challenge me to write them
Explain them if I can

(  At peace am I made conduit
 To the well of all your words
Singular community of artists and writers
But one narrative of hundreds upon thousands
Touched by the impulse
Of communicating
“The Word”  )

And only God knows which ( is )
Any complex sentences definitive
Any account of experiences riches
So penned
By loving its learning descriptive

So loving penned flows out its emotive

The other writers here Christie; well yes and no. I must say that I have been inspired to write by other writers here, including yourself; and no; as their is a deep light and dark filled well that contains all our thoughts and words. I see all our poems as drops that fall into this water, creating ripples that we catch, perhaps a glint or reflection and the spark then continues weaving its own patterns of human truth
