The wandering muse is a whimsical captor
Choosing randomly its slave
Lavishing gifts of thoughts and words
art and music
Nurturing the fledgling
Giving it wings
Letting it soar
Yet
Like a deft kite-flyer
Controlling the flight
Then suddenly when it takes her fancy
Moving on
Leaving one bereft of all thoughts
Refusing to be tied to one place
To be held captive
The wandering muse wanders away
There are some who learn well under her tutelage
Honing the art to a fine craft
Able to connect with her every now and then
But to others
She proves elusive
Showing a spark initially
They fizzle out once she is no longer there
The wandering muse
Like a gust of wind
Shakes up the soul
Smudging it with an illusion
That becomes a reality
In the swirling and the whirling mind of the creator
So when the wandering muse holds you in a thrall
Be a willing pupil
Partaking its lesson with a sublime receptiveness
Imbibing all that she imbues you with
So that when she is no longer there
You can reach your inner reserves
To let words gush forth with abandon.
That’s just great..!! Salutes again..!! ππππππ
