Parting the Clouds

Parting the clouds, the impotent tongue 
Lashed futile and died in a misty mind mouth 
Whipped like a cur, submissions in granite 
On misfire pilgrimage, stumbling south 
Shall she, the muse, send and receive 
Or close her eyes and cease to believe?

Parting the clouds, or any red sea 
Miracle made or drowned in full flowing fog 
Circular smiles or ramshackle thoughts 
Frog turned to prince, or prince turned to frog 
Must I, the scribe, tame both pen and ink 
Singing praise to the mythos that taught me to think?
