My Muse Once Sleeping Is Awake

I tarried into fields of grim, silent stars fallen into dim- Now my passion I shan’t forsake… my MUSE once sleeping is AWAKE. Echoes of hands starved and broken, through muted syllables spoken. Maybe a pause was a mistake… my MUSE once sleeping is AWAKE. Icy tears wept with snow-capped pines, flawed fingers healed; poetry shines. My safe metaphors shall not break… my MUSE once sleeping is AWAKE. Shadowed writing shaded by hope, inspiration, a way to cope- My frail heart healed for heaven's sake… my MUSE once sleeping is AWAKE.

I especially love the final stanza LuLoo, I can relate with my writing starting during such a stressful time when my hubby had cancer surgery. Many congrats on your win:-) hugs Jan xx
