THE LORD IS MY MUSE* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Lord is my muse; I shall not despair. He giveth me inspiration; he leadeth me to magical waters. He restoreth my creativity; he float-eth ideas in my mind, for poetry’s sake. Although I write in the early morning hours and darkness of night, I will remain tireless; for thou art with me; thy energy and enthusiasm comfort me. We traverse the night together, endlessly seeking the stars. Thou anointest me with metaphors, rhymes, and alliterations; my imagination runneth over. Surely effortlessly flowing words shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will write in the house of His spirit forever. *Note: This poem was written for a 2024 Poetry Soup contest in which entrants were to adapt Psalm 23 for writers. My intent, therefore, was not to plagiarize the Bible.
