POEM: Hungry Muse


Feed the Muse
give Her books
poetry and art
movies and shows
even websites and blogs
to devour
to distract
a filling detour
She will be hungry for Them
an immense appetite
unquenchable thirst
elixir
to prime the Pump
and churn out Work
the reward
satiation
brief
it's feeding time again all too soon
an empty plate
equals an empty page

nice!

hunger (i believe, i hope) = passion.
passion = beauty (even if profoundly sad).

i hope you realize that your work is beautiful,
though i, the reader, am selfish for it.
i hope that your work also heals you.

my day is made.
i found something very (exquisitely!) unique today!

peace~
