My Muse

The muse whispers quietly in my ear	
Just loud enough to hear quite clear	
I know she will not leave me	
Being persistent and not setting me free	
	
She continues this way	
Not leaving having her say	
Until I am left with no choice	
Choosing the words that give me my voice	
	
Do you hear it too	
Pleading to complete your project through	
Whether to guide each of your brush strokes	
Drawing you in as it is no hoax
	
To carve something in your mind pictured so clear	
Out of wood stone or metal each finished with flourish so dear
For your Muse is never far
Sitting on your shoulder as a bright twinkling star.
