Muse

Something in the ether I’ve been trying to find

all my senses on high alert, 

a radar pinging in the depth of the ocean

Why do I still feel blind

my touch comes back cold

all I taste is a flavor that is bland

the smells are empty and dry

I’ve been trying to reach you

where have you been, my muse

all I sense is darkness

even the power of the sun

not enough to light the fuse

life is short, time is running by

where have you been, my muse

all you do is confuse.
