The Muse Returns

After having been gone 
for a long stretch of years 
   The Muse finally came home 
Yes- you can see 
    that we will
    gain knowledge 
and strength
  Delight in her return
The light shines brighter now 
  and the urge to create 
deepens in all of us 
 She is a shining sun - we know now 
  we will glow 
through the long winter nights 
    The  Muse has found a lover
moonlight accentuates
  the deep, dark shadows 
which form patterns 
  on the cool, cool earth

I think we have all been there or will be there at some point when the mind just says enough... To return is like swinging on the stars! Welcome back - great piece!
