Mike Worrall, Poets Corner, oil on linen, 122x155cm, 2002
I walked the labyrinth until my feet were sore
Discovered that bliss and blisters do not happily coexist
I sat and meditated until my ass went numb
Emerged no more enlightened than when I first began
I prayed to God, the saints, the Devil, the muses, and Jesus
It was the religious equivalent of mixing ammonia and bleach -
Yet here I am, still dumb as a bag of rocks
and empty as a Halloween pumpkin in the head
The music I create is birthed between my legs
Oh well, at least it makes you happy to sing along.

Sometimes the muse is still sleeping under the Halloween pumpkin ~ Bliss and blisters don't happily co-exist, I agree with you ~
Thanks for playing along LM ~
Have a good week ~
'the music is birthed between my legs' - that is priceless. I love the poem.
