The Silent Muse
silent among shards, she sits
scrawling messages
for the brave
the initial shock
of beneficence
mistaken in a shaded hallway, as
rudderless quips

each tethered more closely around
the violence that spins
isolated
in a hurricane's eye
waiting
for me to pick
any shard
and scrawl with her

Most creative poetry. Enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteI've run out of words for you...this is quality writing at its finest.
ReplyDeleteThe poem sets her place well
ReplyDeleteNot a silent muse at all but shy maybe ~ She is bold and courageous, like you ~
ReplyDeleteNice write
ReplyDeleteHave a good Sunday
much love...
I think we need those who scrawls about the violence... we do need it.
ReplyDeleteSo well done. I like the term "rudderless quips".
ReplyDelete"scrawling messages for the brave"....who need support and encouragement. Good one, Audrey!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that your muse is NOT silent, Audrey. I am always glad to read your inspired words.
ReplyDeleteI was struck by the scrawling messages in the violence. (For the brave and, perhaps, for the meek, as well, who may need them more.) Such a powerful, impactful and, frankly, I fear, increasingly relevant image.
ReplyDeleteAll of us creative people need a muse . Well put !
ReplyDelete"a hurricane's eye" what a stunning image!...
ReplyDeleteLovely words, sounds, images...
ReplyDeleteSuch stunning imagery here, Audrey ❤️ Especially love; "scrawling messages for the brave." Beautifully penned.
ReplyDeleteLots of love,

I imagine her on a boat in a rocky sea setting a course for us to follow.
ReplyDeleteTo have the strength to stand up and scrawl a message in the chaos, and to have the confidence to invite (or wait) for others to do the same is a superpower... a superpower much needed these days.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant work. I think you and your muse are on a roll.

So much distractions that happen all the time. Progress is unwittingly affected in a negative way! Very true Audrey!
