Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

My Muse Once Sleeping Is Awake

A birdsong floats upon the breeze
 And flutters softly through the trees
 What music once my words did make
 My muse once sleeping is awake!

 My words with wings that used to fly
 Have fallen from a somber sky
 A gust of wind is all it'll take
 My muse once sleeping is awake!

 It left without a word to say
 My skies once blue, have turned to gray
 Then thunder roars, I feel the shake
 My muse once sleeping is awake!!

 I wander blindly through a mist
 Trying to find the words I missed
  Yet through the clouds a light will break
 My muse once sleeping is awake!
