Dance of the Muse

The muses dance
to a symphony of cello and viola
played by moonbeams
on a midsummer night,

Their dresses fan the Borealis
as they swirl on nimble feet
across the dance floor
of the night sky,
and their hands gently stir
the evening breeze. 

They breathe soft whispers
into a poet’s sleep,
painting dreams on magnolia petals
and sprinkling them
along a path
of words 
yet unwritten.
