How Do I Find My Muse?

 

When I can’t find it
I go through the house and I clean

While I think to myself deep thoughts

Then I ask myself where it is that I’ve seen

My Muse

How do I find my muse?

 

I go through my day at my very own pace

I put off all that has no need

I take deeper breaths
so that my muse I feed

Remembering life is
no race

 

How do I find my muse?

All the weeks’ stresses I lose

When I find the perfect place to sit back and kick off my shoes

I shut out the world

I turn off the news

While in that moment

I write about whatever I choose

I write about happiness, love, or about the blues

 

How do I find my muse?

I listen to the music and each word for so long

I listen to nature,
and to how, on the breeze, the birds carry their song

Or I respect the silence

And how, when I need it

It can really be heard

Shhh!

 

Mum’s the word…

 

I become my spirit within

Then there it is

 

My Muse

 

Let the creativity begin
