Mnemosyne -

A friend
I didn't know I had

Yet without her
my slate would
be wiped clean
each hour, or minute

Amnesiacs
must not know
Mnemosyne

But, even if they did
would they remember?

If pain is my step
then Mnemosyne must be
the ladder
on which I stand

Her nine daughters
willing to
give me a hand

Each with a purpose
yet, still
I feel so empty

void of reasonable
words,
or meaningful
thought

The Muses -
they are called

The Gifts
that Mnemosyne
brought



I may hate myself in the morning - but I'm gonna love you tonight
-Lee Ann Womack

You have just honored her, the Mother of Muses, dear Tima! She wants you to surrender to her ...

... this is a beautiful reminder to open up to the flow of inspiration... without any doubts.

You see the results when you do!

Love, Margherita
