Muse

So long I sat and gazed upon the visage
Of nobody for certain, none to mention
And from her gained the strength to hope again
To turn and face with stubborn apprehension

All that I do not know and never will
Yet moving towards it bravely I will still
Hold beauty, truth and love so near my heart
And never fear the ones that always try to break apart

I can't remember needing when I started
So brazen and so bold I conquered all
But as the road got longer and my courage lost its way
I needed something more to break my fall

We all create the gods and goddesses we feel we need
And I found within another such a pillar, such a feed
To hold onto when feeling like the sand upon the shore
I lose my way again and start to drift a little more

Refuge in the quiet and the peaceful
Haunted in the silent numbing age
Of morning and the spendor yet to open
My hope it springs within and writes a story on the page
That I can cling to

I can't remember needing when I started
So brazen and so bold I conquered all
But as the road got longer and my courage lost its way
I needed something more to break my fall
