Urania’s Reflections: Definition Muse

Definition Muse

A Muse is nothing and everything
No one ever wonders their story
And the Artist so demanding
The Muse must be energetic
Enthusiastic, ever helping

Or else be cast in the Mud

A Muse must be ever self-sacrificing
Molding, adapting to the
Every whim of the one they’re inspiring
Or risk being called cruel and fickle
Simply teasing

A Muse cannot be Earthly
Or humanly pleasures pursuiting
They must be lofty, ambiguously mysterious
Else the image fall shatt’ring
To the ground

And the beautiful Creature that be clamouring
Be called Fraud
