    Muse I

    Picture
    Dejan Stojanovic, Chicago, 1991

    Recognize your muse
    Among the multitude of whispers

    To see her, through many colors, shining
    Tune your senses
    To hear the highest tones

    Fly beyond the scale
    To hear her melody
    Tune ears and eyes

    To colors beyond the spectrum
    Recognize her beyond yellow and blue
    Creating your own rainbow

    Have a way with her
    To catch her grace in the sublime
    For the Muse to recognize you

    And choose among multitudes
    Whisper back to her, using newly invented notes
    And show her the new colors of the rainbow

    -Dejan Stojanovic
