** The Soul’s Longing Wish to Write Its poetry **

The poems sleep 
Together in a wreath of curled words, 
Poised awaiting, allied, all set to  affect
Their impact
Summoned
From the depths of a restless wish to speak;

Like a lay of Ring-Tailed-Lemurs
— A span of fur in their dreams —
Jostled about, awakening
    With whiskers and ear-tips twitching — 

Like poems — nudged
By a distant alerting
Call to move from their deep well-springs
On to heaven’s higher ground.

The lemurs lift their heads:
The alarmed pounding 
    — Of their beating hearts altogether —
Reverberates — carried far 
By breeze flowing air
Beyond their lair — Thus
Ready to spring  up  — 
Ready to sniff and dash!
Ready to leap.  One by one they run
To skatter, skittering
Out from a cherished hiding
Into light

Along paths poems may take
Into opening spaces 
    Of a new dawn’s graces
— Urging by calls to advance 
Into knowing, letting
The Soul also speak 
Faith’s intoned lines…
To lead a motion through discoveries 
 Before a third struggle 
     To surfaceo
Before drowning
Dissolves the reaching words into howling ~
And 
Startling every tree’s sleeping leaves
         To jitter and blink
         With a-quivering question ~
What voice here surges
To create such sincere lyrics 
From within our penning poets,
     Hearing the aches of humanity’s advancing?
But, ‘tis not our poet’s heart that sings!
Neither is it the mind nor memories ~

‘Tis the soul itself sending poetry,
Wanting its Voice to be written;
Hoping to be known;
True to its glorious source —
Creator of All, including 
The Word —
So…do…learn…listen…transcribe…
As the Soul’s Voice alive,
Alive, indeed,
Clearing the bounds of a forest —
Ready to thrive.
