Musing Inspiration

As quill tip touched
a fibrous page,
wormholes opened
to a neon age

With each stroke passing
and performing a word,
the smallest of sighs
could just be heard

My muse was sitting
somewhere near,
whispering softly
so that no one hears

Vibrating thoughts
in saffron lines,
her hands weave the air
and flow rhythm divine

This creature of thoughts
roams the world,
looking to inspire
and to be heard

Mixing up potions
of master works,
painting a picture
of horse riding Turks

Singing Cantata's
to composers at birth,
molding life sculptures
in minds made of earth

Shes written folklore
in the bright of a star,
and painted a smile
that salutes a Czar

She inspires the hopeless
to live out their dreams,
giving the soul less
a spirit that gleams

Invoking the greats
from ages past,
giving her ideas
and planting a last

Fantastic the journeys
she has gifted me,
now I write with my heart
so that she may fly free

I enjoyed this....

...it has a really well-sculptured out "flow" that made it effortless to read. A fairly "deep" accounting of the powers of a "muse"...but, overall.....an enjoyable read. Thank-you for this "western classic" tribute to who or what keeps you writing ! My hat is off, for you AND your muse ! "Write on"! sincerely, #{:-{)}8==== docmaverick.

It’s an amazing thing,

It's an amazing thing, when one frees the muse inside. It's an amazing thing to notice when that happens and how it keeps happening. My Jaughter, this song's for you! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRK5vLUYLmg Tiny Dancer ~ Elton John Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand Jesus freaks out in the street Handing tickets out for God Turning back she just laughs The boulevard is not that bad Piano man he makes his stand In the auditorium Looking on she sings the songs The words she knows, the tune she hums But oh how it feels so real Lying here with no one near Only you, and you can hear me When I say softly, slowly chorus Hold me closer tiny dancer Count the headlights on the highway Lay me down in sheets of linen you had a busy day today [repeat chorus] Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand But oh how it feels so real Lying here with no one near Only you, and you can hear me When I say softly, slowly Love and Light, Ma

Love the absurdity of this

Love the absurdity of this thought:- "Singing Cantata’s
to composers at birth,
molding life sculptures
in minds made of earth" "she has gifted me," ...........she has gifted to me? "so that no one hears"......into my ear? " This creature of thoughts roams the world, 
looking to inspire 
and to be heard" ............something odd about this verse? " soul less".....soul-less "she has gifted me," she's given to me? "As quill tip touched 
a fibrous page,
wormholes opened
 to a neon age".....this verse could open yet another poem too, more absurd. __________________________ I like the way you tease us along into your song of delight and thankfulness, and we feel it with you dear Jayne of the magic quill. No 'plume de ma tante' here, and yet we wonder whose plume it really is there's a feeling of seeing through those worm holes like a voyeur! Just me. Love to you you lovely person, Ann.
