A-Musing

An inspirational muse Appeared in a daydream Slightly ruffled, amiss And not altogether clean She said to me "Beware the cliche They'll ruin your songs Embitter your day Instead be unique Think for yourself It will be more fulfilling When you earn wealth Fame is unimportant Save for in youth When fame fades away It leaves only truth A dark path behind Deep depressing trail Trials and tribulations Will help you unveil Why dwelling in the past On what is lost When you can move on Unaffected by lust Envy, anger, all Variance of emotions Aiding your task Promoting your devotions Work obsessed Go out and play Life's no fun if Inside, you stay When the petals Of your heart wilt Aged by the weight Of impending guilt Go to the sun Bask in its rays Life can renew Spawn in new ways" Refreshed and awake I saw I fell asleep But this muses words I decided to keep For real or imagined She was wise Very passionate and Helped me realize Upon reflection The life is drained But written in the moment All reality is gained To experience the feelings While it may seem absurd It the best possible way To give life to your words.
