My Muse of Blues

My muse was blue
                                    and I've been too
                                    She whispered tears
                                    At tyrants' jeers
                                    And feeling shy
                                    Receptor I
                                    To share her words
                                    With you

                                    I peak again
                                    Weakly with pen
                                    And hope again for peace,
                                    Love's hope can never cease
                                    A whisper here
                                    Within my ear
                                    Of a poet's heart
                                    Be true

                                    In hues of blue
                                    Thinking of you
                                    Across the world broad
                                    Brothers/sisters trod
                                    My hope is keen
                                    Though seldom seen
                                    When muse has come
                                    Unglued

                                    Shall I then share?
                                    Because I swear
                                    I'd rather share a rose
                                    Than tears shared in sweet prose
                                    But share I will                
                                    A poet still
                                    It's all that I
                                    Can do

                                    So here I am
                                    To you sweet Fam
                                    My precious much-loved group
                                    In our world of Poetry Soup
                                    To Love not hate
                                    It's not too late
                                    To share a hope
                                    Or two!
