muse – Saturday Soul with Sandy Hibbard https://saturdaysoul.com Laughter, Dreams, Love, Desire Wed, 04 Sep 2024 21:56:47 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 156607037 Waking the Muse https://saturdaysoul.com/waking-the-muse/ https://saturdaysoul.com/waking-the-muse/#respond Tue, 03 Dec 2013 14:46:17 +0000 http://saturdaysoul.wordpress.com/?p=1040 […]]]> I remember the exact moment when this verse came to me.  After months of grief, there was a magical moment when my spirit came alive again and desire was born.  The rain was coming down on a cold September day, it seemed to cleanse my mind and give me hope; I breathed in the air and found my heart had decided to take a turn.  Those moments in our life are rare, and beautiful.  I want to pay attention so that I don’t miss one of them!

 

Waking the Muse

I don’t know how long this will last
or where it will go
it may fade
like smoke from an extinguished candle
but my heart is awake now
and I am writing again
dreaming of love again

There’s a spark beginning to burn
igniting feelings in my heart
rushing through me
like claps of thunder trampling the sky
i can feel the rain as it falls
turning into a torrent
washing away my grief
giving birth to a new life

He awakens my ears to hear the night bird and the katydid.
Have you ever experienced your muse?  In Greek mythology, poetry and literature are the goddesses who inspire the creation of literature and the arts. They were considered the source of the knowledge, related orally for centuries in the ancient culture, that was contained in poetic lyrics and myths. Today the term refers to a source of inspiration, generally accessible to artists (artists in a broad sense). The muse is not in itself a delusion, or hallucination, but rather a myth (and sometimes a real human being) to which writers, musicians, painters and more are able to credit the conception of their art to – those times when the artist (or the individual) has not been actively creating a piece, but spontaneously has an idea for one.
