Unveiled Before the Muse

For a muse shows us the things that we cannot see

The side of the heart that beats for her eternally

 

A muse need not be female, male or person

A muse may merely be that which captivates coercion

 

The thing inside, that eyes can find, to translate thought to word

That which brings, close to mind, meaning in all that is absurd

 

We so cleverly veil within ourselves, that which shows us weak

Our muse brings out in us, all that makes us meek

 

We see though eyes unburdened by the chains of shackled personality

Our muse brings out in us, the temperance of individuality

 

Captivated by our muse, triumphantly sweet in grandeur

We are inspired to continue, to push on, to endure

 

Standing in awe before our muse, unsure of what to do or say

We must be within ourselves, that which never fades away.

I agree with your logic about the muses. Many kinds of muses to make us write and create. I like the lines above. We need our muses. Give our mind reason to think and write. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

You have described most eloquently (at least for me) what a muse is and means and how it moves us to express ourselves.
A moving piece dear poet. Bravo, bravo.
