My Muse and Joy of Poetry

The creative mind is seized by the urge of expression My muse blooms to brilliance like the spring flower The patina radiates passion transforming into words. The artistic mind spreads the ingenious wings to fly high My muse follows the fragrance of flower with the singing bird The melody cascades with the flow of words. The inspired mind traces the contours of vibrant emotion My muse floats on the cadence of the heart with the flow The current pulsates with the rhyme of tuned manifestation. The inventive mind sails in the river of life under rainbow sky My muse glides on water rippling with the verve of yearning The craving creates the luring lyric of love. The devout mind builds God’s sanctum in the threshold of life My muse illumines the soul with the light of His benevolence The radiance reflects the essence of mantra in hymn. The imaginative mind frames the hued imagery of sun splashed sea My muse rides enthralled, swaying with the rhythm of the waves The ebullient surge portrays the joy of poetry. ________________ January 5, 2023 Contest : My Muse Sponsored by : Regina McIntosh
