My Muse is the Sun

By Jeff Opfer 
My muse is the sun
And the stars from which I was born
My muse is my breath
Through which I am awake
My muse is my mother, my sons, my family and friends
Whom I deeply love
My muse is my father
Trembling in prison for life
My muse is my pain
My muse is sorrow
Tears shed in years of silence
My muse is this pen—-
    scratching on the page
    whispering solace
My muse is the Way—-
    planted in me with martial love
    by compassionate Masters
My muse is the sun
