Blue Muse

A whistling wind from the North blows into my face
leaves a blue frozen kiss mark on my body

Everywhere I look, there are signs telling me I'm on the right path

Every poem I read writes me a new Holy Book
and tells me I have found the God I need

I am leaving the old religions that I believed showing my love is a sin
And with the pearl rosary in my hand
I pray to the moon to take me to the cold heaven

I walk into the blue light where the voices of my muse echoes.
At the end of the tunnel,
I can see God is painting The Starry Night with the Blue Moon

This poem is so rich in metaphor. It seems to explore a spiritual journey. A search for meaning (or love perhaps). There’s a deep connection to art coming through your word choice.
The image of praying to the moon with a pearl rosary is a strikingly beautiful image, and the best line in this poem. It expresses a connection to the natural world and maybe a rejection of traditional values? The closing image of the starry night being painted by god suggests that art is a divine activity for you. Very thought-provoking.

Unfortunately I can't talk much about this poem, it has special imagery and I don't know how to explain it. But you know I always love your comments. Thank you very much. It always makes me very happy that you can see the details in my words. Hope everything is going great!

yes, you gotta follow the signs. they are never wrong. and yes, you need to find your God, that leap of faith to sail through and discover new lands under the starry night, that are waiting for the new dawn. I like this write, it has hope and positivity, and it's singing to me in a voice of strength to find a path to better times.

Aww. What a sweet comment. I'm glad it made you feel good. You should always make sure you understand the signs correctly, our brain can sometimes tend to understand the way it wants to understand. Thank you so much again!

It reflects the idea of leaving behind outdated notions of sin and finding solace and understanding in nature, art, and poetry.

Really enjoyed reading this poem, NICELY INKED. The use of colors (blue, frozen) suggests emotional states or spiritual feelings,.. and it includes many rich imagery to.

It is a brave soul that walks into a northerly wind, or is that just because north of me is the Arctic?
We all do need to find our own path in life, one that works for us personally as we navigate this crazy thing called life.
Sometimes we have to stray from the common path to the roads less travelled to sense and feel we are on our own, right path.
Your blue muse speaks effortlessly well in this piece.
