. Poetry from The Great In-Between: Who's your hidden or known muse?

Who's your hidden or known muse?


 Who's your hidden or known muse?


(A lone voice whispers)


Dare you name them, or are they just fleeting memories or impressions?


For muses come in many forms, and this relates to all those emotional tributaries.


You consciously or unconsciously carry.


In mental interdimensional abstracts


Which waits patiently to flow rapidly, only to make you perspire when you dream. 


From fear, love, and all things broken, in-between 


Do they all stand knee-deep, huddled together in small circles 


In quiet conversations

Until you dream?


Then agree which one will enter your mind-eyes, fast-flowing streams.


To interact, maybe inspire and be seen?


And recount whatever was said and shown, within that small conversational, huddled circles


As they all gathered together for the days grand rehearsal 


Before greeting you at night

In the deep recesses of your mind 


As so many others watch


Viewers forever with you

Living in The Black and White Lodge 


Waiting for their turn to cross over 


From their own compartmentalized tombs


To be the new muse


Standing with you

In silence 


Waiting for interaction 

Within your Amygdala's darkened red rooms
