Who is My Muse?
There's always someone or something that inspires us.
My muse
is not a fairy or a goddess.
It’s not a spirit
to say the least.
It’s not something conjured
from the deepest, darkest
realm of magic.
It’s not a pack with the devil
or the gift from an angel.
It’s not the supernatural
to say the least.
My muse
is a crazy thought running amuck in my brain
full of “what if” and
“I wonder.”
It’s in my head
to say the least.
But it’s not just there.
My muse
can be the man on the street
whose dreams have been deferred.
Or the third-string quarterback
who won the game.
It's a pretty rich girl
who made the wrong turn
on the streets.
Or the homeless girl
who made the right one on the
path as a college elite.
It’s people in general…
to say the least.
My muse is many things,
real and true.
It’s me and you and all the world.
That’s my muse,
to say the least.
