My Muse

My muse excites me.

He awakens my ears to hear the night bird and the katydid.

Have you ever experienced your muse?  In Greek mythology, poetry and literature are the goddesses who inspire the creation of literature and the arts. They were considered the source of the knowledge, related orally for centuries in the ancient culture, that was contained in poetic lyrics and myths. Today the term refers to a source of inspiration, generally accessible to artists (artists in a broad sense). The muse is not in itself a delusion, or hallucination, but rather a myth (and sometimes a real human being) to which writers, musicians, painters and more are able to credit the conception of their art to – those times when the artist (or the individual) has not been actively creating a piece, but spontaneously has an idea for one.
