My Muse

                          
My Muse,

​Sit atop your golden throne,  
​Write upon your tablet. 

Clio, Lady of History, 
​Sit above the battlefield, 
Writing on your scroll. 

​Euterpe, Lady of Music and Song, 
Clap along to merriment,  
​Wearing your laurel wreath.

​Sit among the burning candles, 
Reciting your feeling to your music.

​Sit among the theatre crowd, 
​Wearing your tragic mask.

Sing in the temples, 
At funerals in your veil.

Move your lithe body, 
To the music of the lyre.

​SIt among the theatre crowd, 
​Switching masks with your sister. 

Urania, Lady of Astronomy, 
Lay under the stars, 
​Slowly spinning your Globe.
