Muse is a Restless Gypsy
Thoughts in the form of words
are a flowing river of hopes,
dreams, even frustrations
begging to be born seeking
to appease and please the
urge
to prove one’s worth at being,
an accomplished wordsmith.
It can be best described
in the following manner
as succinctly and fluently
as I possibly can do.
Muse is a restless gypsy,
roaming through the brain,
heart and soul giving control
to the hand to be born on
paper
as a baby crying for
recognition.
My hopes and dreams longing
for possible immortality…
I rest my pen and case
for you to be the judge.
Gerald Heyder is a published

Dear Gerald,
ReplyDeleteThank you for these thoughts on the workings of the muse--really like the "flowing river" image in line 2.
Blessings,
Michael

Thanks for a great new definition of "Muse" -- "...a restless gypsy..." indeed, she is a wanderer and each of us is a wayside stop, waiting to welcome her...
ReplyDeleteGerald,
ReplyDeleteI like the analogy between a muse and a gypsy...I believe I am in search one of my own to find me new stuff to write. (Poems I have posted before, all except for the challenges, have been in other publications)
Your friend,
