"A genius is a lofty kind indeed" revised

A sonnet devoted to the true meaning and definition of having the gift of genius.

A genius is a lofty kind indeed:

he or she is a creature of the mind

that goes where breaths of inspiration lead

like a mythic Muse on a Grecian wind;

some have the gift of poesy like Keats

and some the gift of music like Mozart;

one limns lush, green fields where a lone sheep bleats

and one writes airs that lull the mind and heart.

The gift of genius is an inspired tool,

conferred by one's high Muse to create art,  

music and science to enlighten the fool  

in ev'ry tribe of which we are a part.   

      But, if your genius be not in this rhyme,

      then share the greater "genius" that's your time.
