Art and Muse

The artist's muse described the world in his mind,

As half light and half dark.

The artist envisioned such a sight,

Such glory!

Untill the muse asked him what his mind was like,

And the artist stood quiet to imagine it--

I sit alone in a desert,

Head low and hands cold.

Dark clouds circle above my mind like hungry vultures,

And last the dry, purple sand lies a blue bricked enclosure,

Although it is hugged by these deep blue bricks made of agonizing screams,

Is a raging sunset,
Colors reversed as blue with a hint of good.

A sight to truly behold,
A silent beauty,
As there in the deep green ocean was a mountain of corpses-
Corpses of past muses that once held great inspiration.
