I am my own
muse

I delight me
with words
of both wisdom
and wit

I teach myself
so much
such insight
into the human
soul
such compassion
for the weak and weary
such utter contempt
for the self-satisfied

I think
what a wonderful world
It would be
if only people
would listen
to me

I look at the full moon
and bay
come
come
come to me
let's explore
a new world
