Oh muse....
When I’m dry, when I cry
where are you then?

When my tongue lays idle as
my mind struggles, as my hand
lies lifeless upon the page,
where are you?

When tears fall freely, when sadness
overwhelms, when life is a struggle
and all seems for naught.

Promise me muse, my dear friend...
That when I falter you shall rise
from my humility and stroke the
page in grandeur, leaving my soul
in awe of you.

For as I struggle, as I sometimes fail...
I shall remember those moments when
we wrote together, and from our
words....waterfalls fell mightily to
the sea....

Oh, dear Barry, this is heartfelt and the Muse will be pleased. I don't think she ever abandons you ...
the waterfalls will roar always, trust!
You are a beautiful, sensitive poet.
Love and Light. Margherita

I can't believe this didn't get more replies. You expressed this so well...tore the thoughts right out of my head and put them down so elegantly...I'm envious

We are one with muse and faith...
A friendship that never leaves lonely.

Barry...I don't believe I have ever seen your muse take a vacation.
She just keeps nudging you with those huge sighs!
