You are not my muse
No paintings or poems
No passionate artistic declamations
No morbid fascinations
No unsolved mysteries
I look at you
And I see Home
No embellishment needed
No creations
Only action
No fantasy
You are
Reality
You are
Gravity
Holding me tightly
You are
Truth
Most spectacular and horrific
Muses fade
Like phases of the moon
You are the sun I orbit
