The Gift Of Muse And The Grace To Inspire

If I have to poetry see and define 
My words would shrink and stop to ink
My thoughts would be unable to align 
And in confusion I would rather sink..

Visions in words would learn how to speak 
Words marvellously moulded by a wordsmith 
Far reaching charm a poet would constantly seek
Unique gems adeptly crafted by a goldsmith..

It’s the power to paint and portray
Compose a tune.. an ambient so rare
An art gallery, a rich tapestry to display 
Masters of words of sublime flair..

Much more.. the magic of poetry
The soul of verse can one acquire?
Abc’s and rules.. suffice to pen poesy!
Who grants the gift of Muse and the grace to inspire?

On the mystery of poetry I still ponder
Poets and their feeding Muse hearts impress
Their path of no sand or end would wander
What is predictable willing to transgress..

Fill your glossaries beyond lands and seas
Empty the wealth of your mine into sieves 
Precious pearls of rare beauty you receive 
Stir souls while telling stories before you leave..
