Meeting My Muse

An interlude upon waiting for one’s muse

~ 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 —
my woods invites my gaze as I glance up from reading, deep in thought

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
