#fridayflash - The Muse

The Muse

I lie on my bed, shivering with anticipation. I feel a jolt. It is about to happen. I relax. Muscle by muscle. Let my eyelids droop.
There it is.

Out of the corner of my half-closed eye comes a flash of light that does not diffuse. It lies arrested before me like a huge puffy cloud.

I wait. My senses adjust.

Then I see them.

Stepping from the clouds like aristocrats returning from the Prince’s ball they come, the heightened thoughts and imaginings, richly attired for the occasion.

Scarcely daring to breathe, I open my notebook and begin to write…

Hope you enjoyed it...Denise
