Tenth Muse
Nine muses
For the Greeks,
A tenth muse
For Filipinos
And for me
Grace and gift
I aspire toward
Invocation
If paraluman
Visit and illumine
Then I shall, in
Turn, be filled
With art from
Philippine spirit
I could not
Ask for more
Than far-off
Soul-wind
Breathe on me

Sam, thank you! Muses certainly are important, aren’t they? However we find them or define them. Or how they find us and define us.

I enjoy the image of having the wind breathe on you, filling you with inspiration well written

Mandi, thanks. Inspiring as breathing does appeal to me, as metaphor and reality. At least how it really feels. (inside or out).

Beautifully-penned! The last stanza is certainly my favorite,
“I could not
Ask for more
Than far-off
Soul-wind
Breathe on me”
..wow! Such brilliant personification of the soul wind breathing into you. 😀

Maria, thank you! I guess I find that’s how the wind feels: like breathing.
