Love Poem: The Muse

The Muse

The muse that wanders through my life
My friend, companion, my loving wife
The path before me dark as night 
She bathes the way with gentle light

And takes my hand and leads the way
Through troubled waters night and day
And when the evening falls like rain
She takes me to her bed again

“You’re safe” she says, “Now rest your head
You weary nomad, here in my bed.
Safe and sheltered from the storm
That welcomes soon the dawning morn.”

A new day dawns before us breaking
Walk beside me hand in hand
The path before us that we’re taking
Fraught with risks like shifting sand  

We’ll walk together, you and me
Through thick and thin the journey be
And when each day is done at last
I know tomorrow too will pass

But with you walking by my side
Loving, caring, and sharing life
My feelings true, forever faithful
My love, my friend, my gentle wife
