Muse

Sometimes, my words won’t come,
no matter what I try to write.
I softly call upon my muse,
entreat her
to come to me this night.

I feel her warmth within the room
I’m instantly at ease.
I sense her reading my scribbled words,
she knows my thoughts
and hears my longing pleas.

I feel her delicate fingers
upon my clumsy hand;
her words and phrases flood my mind,
things I’ve never seen before
from some far distant land.

I don’t know where she comes from,
(maybe, from above)
where ever it is
that she calls home,
she comes to me with love.

    1. Thanks Oliana. My muse is fickle, sometimes she brings me the words, sometimes she doesn’t. Go figure! ~ Dennis

    1. It is wonderful to hear that you are in Iceland. You must say hello to the huldufolk for me. My grandfather was Magnus Ingimarsson from Hlid, Nordurardal, Myrasysla. My grandmother was Vilborg Gudmundsdottir from Grafarkot, Stafholtstungum. They emigrated to Canada in 1900. Thank you so much for sending the link to pictures of Iceland.

      Cheers,
      Dennis
