Sleeping With The Muse

Sleeping with the Muse,

  my nights have grown short

 

Sleeping with the Muse,

  my spirit comports

 

Sleeping with the Muse

  words dance with delight

 

Sleeping with the Muse

  confronting my fright

 

Sleeping with the Muse

  her will tests again

 

Sleeping with the Muse

  not lover nor friend

 

Sleeping with the Muse

  my dreams sacrifice

 

Sleeping with the Muse

  all rest put on ice

 

Sleeping with the Muse

  the whispers come clean

 

Sleeping with the Muse

  excuses demeaned

 

Sleeping with the Muse,

  my spool is respun

 

Sleeping with the Muse

  divorced from the sun

 

Sleeping with the Muse

  in darkness I learn

 

Sleeping with the Muse

  the day will confirm

 

Sleeping with the Muse

  till dawn’s freeing light

 

Sleeping with the Muse

  —new words to take flight
