#Writing #poetry started here – v2

Hearing the #Muse – v2

The call, the words,
coming like a fountain,
living waters of Your love,
flowing, raining,
pouring down on me…
Calling me from slumber
from indecision, inertia,
words flowing, freely,
pouring out of me…

Alexey Navalny #Navalny #AlexeyNavalny #Russia #poetry

Reading His widow’s words, beautiful,
painful, on the day of His funeral,
breathing love, yet loved ones unable,
to be there, to grieve, with one another,
by the wrath of the dictator, his fear…

Common people chanting, shouting, defiant,
speaking aloud his crimes, His name.
Navalny's name has been engraved
on the hearts of man, humanity,
and chiseled into history, for all time...

Letting the Words Loose

Flowing, a wellspring rising,
letting loose the torrent,
the fountain of Your love…

Spirit speak through me,
convey God’s true nature,
in the words You give me,
to share with the world…

Awakening the #Muse – v2

Asleep within me, the muse of my heart
You, oh Spirit, waiting for me,
Looking within, the words still there, waiting,
finding voice, freedom, when I still myself to Thee.

Speak to me, Spirit eternal,
give me Your words to convey, to share,
find me willing, in the quiet of my soul, my spirit,
teach me to share Your message, love to the world.

A kiss of the #Muse #poetry

A kiss of the Muse,

a whisper of gossamer breath,

a journey into mystery,
A time that never was...

A way of awakening,
a quickening of breath,
a moment become eternity,
The story within each one of us...

A whisper of the Muse,
a hint of hyacinth in the air,
a breath, lingering, wandering,
joining with the universe,
A moment of clarity...
