Cling To Love Poem by Danny Speicher

Oh, Muse, long ago, you graced this doorway
Or, was it so long ago you were here?
Can’t remember your voice so well, oh Muse
But, at night, while dreaming, your voice rings clear

Oh, Muse, once you had my heart in your hand
Inspire or crush any time you chose
So long since I’ve seen your beautiful face
Still I see it clearly, when my eyes close

Oh, Muse, you took my heart for a season
Though I gave it to you for a lifetime
I sat at your feet and basked in your glow
As long as you’d grant your heart to touch mine

Oh, Muse, don’t abandon the love you know
And cling to love, oh Muse… Don’t let love go

Oh, Muse, you departed on a stormcloud
Late in Springtime you left without a trace
To this day I watch you from a distance
And fondly think of your tender embrace

Oh, Muse, you’ve chosen another to love
I pray that this time you’ll let that love grow
No obstacle, either real or perceived
Will avert love’s supernatural flow

Oh, Muse love deeply, think freely, live life
And cling to love, oh Muse… Don’t let love go
Believe in the power of miracles
Chase every dream that you’ve ever known

Oh, Muse, don’t abandon the love you know
And cling to love, oh Muse… Don’t let love go
