Night Muse
I hear a muse
who speaks
and sometimes sings
and dancing leaps
only through my dreams
Whether mine is lonely
or one of many
we share at night,
I wonder
Where dark certainties
and sometimes starlit celebrations
unfold
dim as old remembered bright
I suppose S/He might respond
to this humane humbling question
asked while fading off to work
on Earth's spinning days
plays of relentless unresolve
becoming morning's clarity,
a puzzle solved
Just for me?
or for eternity
From all of us?
growing lunar waxing
knowing waning shifts
Communal waking
to whom we long to be
woke together
once again.
