Suspending the Muse

<p>Suspending the Muse addresses issues regarding the authentic article of living in the present. It is an adventure into the unknown where the mind leaves the body to unearth what is concealed. There is a meaningful focus on redeeming time past through time present as time future becomes a grain of sand leading to an enlightened house of many rooms.</p><p>In this poetic work author Dean Gardner uses dazzling wordplay and vivid imagery to pay homage to the artistic muse that elusive spirit whose visits inspire great works and whose absences haunts those who create.</p><p>It is</p><p>That it was destiny</p><p>That brought him</p><p>To the threshold</p><p>Of the beyond</p><p>Through a portal</p><p>Found in the third eye</p><p>Of the muse</p><p>She led him</p><p>To the power</p><p>Of The Spirit of Truth</p><p>Allowing him</p><p>To go</p><p>Beyond phenomenal reality</p><p>As the celestial clocks</p><p>Yielded</p><p>To a parabola of time</p><p>Anyone who has pursued creative ventures will understand this look into the muse’s journey. Suspending the Muse is a quest for comprehension in the face of the unknown as self and muse battle with nothingness. It is an overture to postmodernism in both form and substance.</p>
