Elusive, Yet Could it have been any clearer this missing, for any morning’s dawn yawned without cheer and no reflection to be found in the mirror it really didn’t take the horoscope to point out that something was missing without a doubt, and really no reason to whine, nor shout. Elusive brings its cousin Bereft, still I look for tinges left behind in singe of memories, gold, and yet, I had not sold one. Is there nothing left for one to share? Is there nothing left for one to write? Yet poets portray by public display that their muse hasn’t died, but mine. Is s/he dead? I ponder the empty shell of soul, or is it reptile, having grown beyond its skin a metamorphosis… a butterfly’s leftover home. Something that once held magic, adored, something that still needs to be explored, something that otherwise could ever shine; Muse, come home, once again, be mine. ~*~ In hope of finding one’s muse again. " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |

Maybe your muse met my muse and they went on a trip Some place exotic thinking that they had a break from us and our needy desires to write. Maybe your muse met my muse and they are shopping Buying dreams and visions to fortify us for a time as we write of the pictures in our heads. Maybe your muse met my muse and they are conspiring against us. Hope they are having fun. Alison |

Dearest Karilea ~~ I have always thought that you ARE the muse. If not, you apparently do not need the help of one, because this is just wonderful. My muse left a few years back and I rarely see the little brat. I think it must be a she, for she always seemed to love ice cream. I believe she moved in with Ben & Jerry! Yours will return and see your poem and find out you don't need her... and will stay out of envy. {{Hugs}}} Caroline He who wants a rose must respect the thorn. |

I like the 'Yet' in your title. It reminds me of what a teacher-friend of mine requires of her students. She requires that they add the word, "yet" at the end of the following sentence, if they choose to use the sentence: I can't do it, YET. (That three letter word predicts and offers quite a future...) As to your muse, perhaps it is vacationing somewhere with mine! If you see them together, please direct mine to return as soon as possible! eehaw! I enjoyed your poem, know the feeling of a missing muse, and know yours could NEVER stay away long. hugs, Sunshine! misC |

Doesn't look to me like your muse is gone. Maybe you just think s/he is. |
