Muse in the Garden - Part 1

This is a love story about the muse and the beauty and inspiration she finds in nature. It is about almost losing herself, almost losing her love, being reawakened to the muse within us all.

Her head was clearly cloud-borne

Her heart was rich and wild.

It wasn't hope but wondering

that made her like a child.

 

The gardens of her daydreams

were where her mind would play.

Each thought a ripened cherry,

begging her to stay.

 

Poppies blooming dangerously,

mushrooms soldieresque

Scotch pine trading stories

Peonies pop burlesque

 

Mock orange wafting heavenly,

lavendar divine.

Effervescent honeybees,

wardens by design.

 

Dandelions slinging seeds,

fleaborne mongrel pups.

Pansies hanging heavy heads,

drowsy in their cups.

 

Entranced with inner wanderings

she often lost her way.

Surrender, sweet, solubrious

the muse unfettered play.
