I hope you’re not getting tired of my little inspired inserts. I love them all (my small children) each one that shows up one after the other. Sequences that surprise even me, the author, each one a little world, a little microcosmos.
The Houseguest You Never Want To Leave😇🧚♀️🧚♂️🙋♀️🧞♀️🧞♂️
You may not be a genius BUT
You may be visited by genius,
He or she who is your muse
Sent by some caring force to use.
It happens every now and then
And when…when it presents itself
You’re honored, for your opuses are marked
By qualities but dreamed of lying in the dark.
Let yourself become a duct.
Let the technique romp through to you,
Finally to reach out to the few
As yet un-met, unseen dear viewer, who
Will benefit from your enchantment.
It’s all a magic, unexplainable, entrancing
Where your duty is a simple one:
Take hold of gifts you have, and dancing,
Work them with a quiet purpose.
Who knows when that genius
Will be the guest that never sticks?**
*genius comes from the mythical genie who, imprisoned in a bottle, when freed grants wishes when summoned.
** stick: (British informal slang) go to live elsewhere.
