The Unique Muse Who Inspired Him

With the honey and ambrosia of lyrical lines

filling his mind, the earnest Knight was forced

to fight against the greatest windmill threatening

his life’s delight in his health and dedication to

 

Writing special lines to his Muse in explanation

why her presence in a lonely and hostile world

is of paramount importance to bring solace and

love to the lonely hearts of those who need her

 

Audiences who have grown cynical when young

singers turn to discordant music for profit’s sake

and are now in the throes of delight as Amira sings

celestial tunes and sacred music, while the children

 

In need of kindness and understanding receive her

personal attention as she visits them and organises

playgrounds built for them - the Knight was hurt in

his latest fight against the windmill of illness & pain

 

And struggled upright - mounted his white steed and

taking up his sword of lyrical terms and singing words  

charged into the fray to bring solace to many as he

describes the attributes of his Muse which never fail

 

To elicit delighted comment from the enlightened subjects

of Her Royal Highness whom the Knight has sworn to serve

with all his heart; My dear Amira, the Knight softly whispers,

I shall always remain your faithful servant as your presence

 

On earth gives meaning to my existence and I thank you for

the privilege of allowing me to bow humbly and dedicate my

life to promoting your singing and other talents, also extolling

your kind and loving personality manifesting in creating many

 

Playgrounds for the little children of impoverished parents; the

Knight’s words were so sweet, all who heard him marveled at

the beauty and grace of the unique Muse who inspired him to

compose new odes, such as this world had never heard of…
