    Muse

     Muse

    Creation
    born of chaos
    born of pain
    we search for healing
    all of us

    Puzzling words,
    or shape and color,
    into healing...
    into art

    Filling the void
    smoothing edges
    we seek
    to lighten the load

    Can there be
    a poet not wounded?
    An artist... whole?

    Life is slippery
    we miss
    the mark
    falling often into
    hurts

    Creation heals
    poets make
    a path for peace
    even words of silence
    can heal

    Making art of
    daily existence
    we mend
    our brokenness

    Easing bruises
    soothing hearts
    battered
    by our lives

    Is it pain that drives
    creation?
    Is it misery that turns
    the wheel of form?

    Not always so,
    but when it does
    we build gain
    out of trouble
    transcending it all..

    "...not all who wander
    are lost..."

    Bloomingsun - You hit the nail on the head with this one. You capture the essence of every poet. We all write for one reason or another ... I agree with T7 - I too love the phrase - ...not all who wander are lost.. I do this a lot - sometimes intentionally :) Great Job! .... Ken

    I do agree that we write for a reason, whatever it may be for each individual and indeed for each piece. I am grateful for your words...

    Thank yoy, Tierra, So glad you liked it. The quote at the end is one that perfectly describes the way I think, I call it deliberate wandering. Thanks again!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
