The Muse (Free verse) by StuntHornist
At the end of everything
Where the dirt paths gradually grow over with grass and not too many
Steps have been taken... where
3 people can sit and have a chat or a picnic
Or maybe smoke pipes if that's their thing
There IS a god
Away from the working and the playing
And the responsibilities and the sleeping
And hating and killing
We can all think and dream and talk
And act like people instead of animals
(Like Animals instead of people)
Or if you're alone (thank goodness, sometimes)
You can go by yourself and maybe
I'll be there
(Or maybe not), but it doesn't make a difference because
When you're alone you can do the most splendid things
And later we can catch up and you can tell me what all you did
And I'll tell you about what I did at the other end of everything
Where grassy paths are starved for rain and the dirt takes over
And so many steps have been taken that no one ever wants to go there
anymore.
