Meeting My Muse

My Small Woods

invites my gaze as I glance up from reading

deep in thought

~ Meeting My Muse ~

A brief reflection on one's muse

  to read, to wonder - then to write

this daily occupation fills long hours with delight  

Some sit under giant oaks

or gaze at gentle waves

to hear their muse

to meditate, find

inspiration

<><><><><><>

I'll wander in a quiet book 

or other words to ponder

and settle in to relish all

as new worlds inspire

then interrupt my reading with

wonderings which become

compelling prompts to

capture carefully

I listen for my muse and write

right here in this old chair

meandering the world from

my favorite writing nook
