The Muse

Forever poised

on the brink

of a poem,

patiently waiting

for the Muse

to rise

or fall

from the skies,

the poets eye

looks out

onto the fields

of paradise

left vacant

of her presence.

He looks

for her

in his heart

and sees

that she indeed

is the one thing

he needs

and wants;

a window

is flung open,

a door beckons,

the house of the soul

welcomes him

home ...
