Give me a purpose
I will give you a rose
Give me a fight
I will give you a garden
Give me an idea
And an orchard will blossom.
I’ll give you the fruit of my passion
But please just give me a reason.

When I think about divinity and all that I know, It's just a fraction of infinity there's nothing I can show.

Is this really a plea TO the Muses? Or FROM one?
Part of me feels like the Muse, taking the more earthly form of "the woman" (as M-bito would say), would be prone to these sorts of things: give her a purpose, fight for her, inspire her, be the man she wants you to be, and she will be the rose, the garden, and the orchard with the fruit.
Or perhaps it is to her, asking her to be the one who gives you purpose, who gives you something to fight for (her), who inspires you. You're ready to give her everything she desires, but she has to prove herself to you first.
Wow, great job, dude. That really made me think. So what were YOU thinking?

DJ,
I thoroughly enjoyed this piece! It was the first I wanted to comment on.
AJ,
Excellent analysis of the poem. I can see both sides, but I wonder if the speaker is the poet. For why would the muse ask for a purpose? She (yes, she if we hold to classic greek mythology)
is the one who gives the writer inspiration and ideas. DJ pleads to "Give [him] an idea" in line 5. The poet in turn creates the beauty of art, as compared to nature by DJ in lines 2,4,6, and 7.
DJ,
It seems that in your heartfelt plea, the muses listened and granted your request, for this is a piece of beauty.
