THE MUSE IS QUIET

I Love You

I am tired

Are you too

     tired, uninspired

I want to

provide you

with something to think about

with something to lift you

with words that

     make sounds you want

     to hear again and again

I want to

give you

     a smile

     a light

     a warmth

Perhaps amorrow ...

for

     sometimes

     the muse

     is quiet
