How long does it take
For the inspiration of a muse
to disappear
Once she has departed
From your life to another shore?
Does it evaporate
The moment she says adieu?
Does it take a month
A year
Or does it disappear forever
Or does it never go away?
Do you look from your studio
Across the Paris skyline
And cry for her return,
Or ask the Gods of Art
To find and return her
To inspire you once more
Or will they say
You've had your time
And your day
And your muse has gone
Gone forever
Never to return.
You must carry on and find your dream
In another kind of reality.

Beautiful. have found it necessary to write of my past muse(s) when the thoughts and memories are clear in my mind. Such writings have enabled me to relive moments and times of refreshingly bright periods of my life.
The inspiration of any one muse may fade but my writings have encapsulated them.
I enjoyed reading you.
A fine write Jim. Oh she will return I hope!
Such a lovely write!
