Rekindling My Muse

I thought I saw you the other day

Out of the corner of my eye,

Your familiar friendly face.

But it wasn’t you

Just a mistaken memory

A thought quickly replaced.

I thought I heard you whispering in the wind.

Words of inspiration spoken so softly

My ears couldn’t comprehend.

But it wasn’t you

Just a trick of the mind

Idly watching time slowly passing by.

It’s been too long my dear old friend!

Don’t you remember how well we used to play?

All the magic we created

Upon the many nights we happily stayed up late.

With you by my side this all made sense,

But now all I have is this cursor that blinks

Upon this bright and daunting blank screen.

I know I abandoned you so long ago

I didn’t mean to; it certainly wasn’t planned

Sometimes life just gets in the way.

But I need you back

To help calm this restless mind.

So, if you could just whisper a little bit again

I promise to listen, and

I promise this time I won’t be led astray.

The picture used is the corner of my desk. In the middle is my book fairy. I find myself staring at her blankly as I mentally search for words and inspiration quite frequently. Surrounding her are three scenic quartz that each hold glorious and unexplored universes within them. And of course my little groots who hold tiny crystals for inspiration, but sometimes I swear they are the ones waiting for me to inspire them.
