Muses come and they go ~ inspiration comes in many forms.

As you brush away the small strand of hair
that has escaped the rest
walking without companion
to follow your Savior
hoping to fill His footprints
He’s left behind

Some place you on a pedestal
while much of the world
shuts you out
but they fear
without comprehension
your miraculous sense of security
within

You are immaculate
with eyes that shine of the sea
persevering in your
unquestioning authority
yet seeking answers
all the same
for only one enduring question

Most see you through
eyes of admiration
while trying to imitate something
they will never be
for lack of ambition
or encouragement
tho you have never offered any less

You are love
and the light of a smile
inspiring provocation of faith
you hearten the flame
while encouraging
the seed to grow
a gift you have been given

As you contemplate another day
another soul
places you in high regard
for what you’ve done
and what you’ve said
mended all the holes
inside their broken heart
