Waiting for the Muse

The sun appears late, delaying dawn break
I do not wake up to see the stupefied birds
The alarm bell will ring unmindful of the sky

It won’t happen till you do it, sighs the astrologer
I sharpen my pencils, but thoughts are hazy
The sun appears late, delaying dawn break

My internal compass brooks no outside reference
I rely so much on myself; I miss all signals divine
I do not wake up to see the stupefied birds

The muse is waiting somewhere out there
I wait for inspiration to find its way to me
The alarm bell will ring unmindful of the sky
