Return of the Muse

None can see the triumph in my eyes,
Or hear the fluttering wings within my breast
As Muse, in pity at my hapless sighs,
Returns to launch me once more on the crest
Of surging thoughts, to hopes I can aspire
To set them free and give them once more voice.
Now may She softly once again retire
Unnoticed, as upon the peak I poise.

Forgotten lie the shards of my despair,
The fickleness of benefactress Muse.
Who knows when next I'll rouse her from her lair?
Suffice it, when I call, she won't refuse.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
