Voice Everlasting Whispers

I fail to sleep by night as My soul sails away from me My eyelids collapse, heavy with sleep As I hear toothless voices Spouting out truth like a fountain with rusty waters They inform me of memories I knew nothing of The memories lost with those who came to pass The memories of ways healing to my loneliness And portions to my present sorrows (cause of lament) Memories of gifts, that promises as heavy clouds promises heavy rain I hear the lamentations of those long gone as they whisper unto me Their whispers thin with our desires Their faces marked with maps of aging They say child Long have we sought for peace from the beginning of our beings, Timeless have we blamed the rivers of being dump purposely because of their everlasting endurance But now as you can tell, the pursuer has caught up with us, the weary So we chose the dry shell to arouse For you the eggshell when planted with the right yolk, the outcome is Gifts available in abundance Run and never grow weary You may live calmly as you please A life of slow life style And never hurry or rush A life of patiency, for you need not hurry The yoke is in you As i try to reason all this I notice that of all these writings I scribble I am beyond age to understand For I wrote in ancient vowels everyone seemed to have forgotten For sure I am a hatchling Simplify your riddles you whom dust has claimed For I am a hatchling compared to your knowledge Pardon I ask Puzzled as i was I asked for translation Ask who my child? The great voices turn to trembling voices as they say Ask the florist where to find the rose of Sharon Ask the builders which is the chief cornerstone Ask the physicians which is the greatest amongst them all Ask the Einsteins for the source of eternal data And when you find the lily of the valley He shall lead you wherever He goes, He shall carry you through difficult phases For He is the good Shepherd, the greatest amongst them all He shall renew your shell Fill in the yoke And the river of flowing living waters shall flow in you now voice.
