Listening to every heart

Your Own Muse

Now, she and I have looked inside
and there you in slumber, rest, dreams ride,
sleeping in peace, mind in repose,
but we stand by, watchful, and close

in quiet chat and singing chant,
your very own muse, and I
singing softly, oh, so soft,
this little bit of lullaby,

for you had cried for her to come
though all night, she was there,
holding onto your precious thoughts
with the most gentle hands in care.

You searched for your most solemn muse,
would not be swayed by our amuse,
“neither droll nor witty will I write”
thus stayed your pen throughout the night…

Now, Serious was no where to be found
though you looked high, low, and all around
but your own sweet muse, your tender tones
couldn’t find a place on paper’s home

but still in inky blackness’ stream
the tender tones swell in dream
as shadows show you the heart of home
for tomorrow’s write, a tender tome.

.......for Maree

Wonderful gift for Maree, Karilea..
And how beautifully she does write.
Our muses do need a bit of a vacation from time to time..
but they never ever leave us!
~Hugs to you, Maree and our muses~

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
   is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.

There is nothing quite so special as the gift of words.  

What a lovely poem,  to and from a couple of fine ladies.

Karilea, such a beautiful and precious gift.
Thank you dear friend for standing close and watchful and for bringing me smiles this sunday morning.

Love you

as do your own rhymes divine.

... and it's you ... you ... you ... you ...

I've always been impressed with your work as you already KNOW, but....
this is truly outstanding mum.  Just outstanding.

There is a plain(and I don't mean Kansas) on which some people write and you dwell there.  Your word choice to convey your thought is always so sound.  KJ

Sometimes when we write
for others
we find out more
about ourselves.

Thank you all for reading, for enjoying.
