My Muse

Contemplating what exactly my muse will be
when I put my ideas inside poetry.
I can open my bible to the book of Psalm
and draw inspiration from a Sheppard boy
while understanding his life was more sorrow than joy.
Maybe my muse is inside my song hymnal
as the tuneful truths swim inside my mind,
or maybe its the “new” lyrics I try to find.
Sometimes just to be honest about where my muse be
I open up the list of Poetry Soup contest and just see.

Thanks for sharing this. Meanwhile, by God's grace, I greet you with the peace and joy from the Lord toward a prosperous New Year 2023 along this present: "the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23 of the King James Bible). God bless you.

I really agree with the last part. More than 90% of my "sparks" for imagination come from the contest here. Still want to write you. Just too busy with joe's therapies right now. We had to go to ER over the weekend.
