The writer’s muse in me scoffed
That’s it ! I’m taking the whole night off
The doors to imagination shut
New thoughts and ideas were put
on the shelf.
.
Time to find a book to read
to fill empty artistic need
Or in my hand a brush to take
Another muse to bring awake
in the night.
.
So now as in my artists heart’s
slow and steady beats do start
to lead into the painter’s light
I bid you all a fond good night.
*****
When someone closes the door …, open the window !!!

I love your odes to good night. Love you to my friend.
Hi Robyn, I did the sketch from a picture I took at a musium in California. In color it was absolutely stunning. My poor sketch doesn’t begin to do it justice.
Lovely words Paul ~ did you sketch the ballerina? It’s beautiful ~ you have muses hiding out everywhere don’t you ?! 🙂 ~ Hope the night was kind to you! ~ xRL
