THE MUSE

by Lola Cruickshank/Cancer - Not entered

Inimitable, inevitable ..
Like an onrushing, great freight train
Of thought
And
Other precious cargo ..
Ideas, images, wishes and poems
Spill in profusion
On the platform at the feet
Of those souls
Whose good fortune
Allows a glimpse of her's ..
And who dare to give themselves up
To the indelible impact
Of all that she is ..

Reason for writing:

    Shortly after I joined my "open mike poetry" group, "The Night Heron Poets", I heard a woman named Doris Thurston read and was absolutely awestricken by her work,her pesonality and her confidence. She immediately became my muse.  This poem is for her.  For the record, I am a Cancerian.
