John DuffyASY Poet Rhyme

Have you ever wondered?

The Prophet Of Dumaz Speaks 

(A lone voice whispers)

Hey you
You do realize 
You picked this life 

Before you were born

All the people you've met
Loved 
Hated

Family
Friends
Lovers
Situations

Hardships
Encountered
In whatever nation

When you signed your soul's timeline
Up high

Somewhere
In the Deep Divine

It may be a strange thing 
Knowing this

But consoling
All the same 
In a bizarre way

Souls
Some say

Need to face 
Trials and tribulations 
To soar higher

To be refined

So maybe
What you're presently 
Going through

Is a journey of love or pain
You

Yes
You

Have already planned
To go through 
Again

So view challenges 
In a new way

Don't be daunted 
Scared or swayed 

Face them with courage
And fortitude 

For to not do so
This time around
Would be rude

Or you could just crumble
And turn to dust

Only to ask 
For the same experience 
Again 

With your soul
Entombed in a new husk

So trust your instincts
And I hope and pray

This got you thinking 
That all you're enduring 
You've asked for

Even knowing me 
Via this poetic review
To remind you

Keep going
You still have
So much to do
