Ballad (32)

Tell me, sweet muse, what you desire,
That I may find a way
To give you moon, or stars, or fire
That would warm soul today.

Give me some quest, or set me goal,
To prove how much I care.
Let me show just how deep in soul
You've touched, that I love dare.

Let laughter warm me, and your eyes
Provide reason to live.
Share your dreams with me, and make wise
One who would knowledge give.

Might I dream of my arms around
Treasure beyond mere gold?
Can I hope that I now have found
A part of heart to hold?

All I seek in visions I find
In what I see of you.
All I dream of within my mind
Is to your sweet soul view.

Send me a token of concern,
That hope is not in vain:
Send me your dream, that I might earn
That you my muse remain.
