A Muse’s work is surely never done.  
She leans this way and that, to spur her lover  
while he, transfixed, attempts to rediscover  
that faint, elusive spark -- could it be gone?  
In any case, it’s nothing like the sun,  
but she will persevere, and loving, hover,  
and aid, abet, and labor to uncover  
those barely tepid embers; be the one  
that’s on -- whenever he is on or off.  
Encourage, mollify, and reassure.  
Adore and praise when others tend to scoff.  
Her consummate devotion simple, pure:  
be there for every valley, every trough,  
above all, and whatever comes, endure.
