The Voices

I hear them there in mist of my depths 
In silence like a whisper next to you 
Speaking familiar tone, occasional stranger 
Truth, say listen to gut feel 
But are they illusion of times passing 
Sounding real, wait; depths are not silent 
What is edge to which one is push 
The bond and spirit broken away to insanity 

When is it we listen not to our own 
That we follow idle talk our portrait be 
Voices say kill while love spare hatred 
Revenger of iniquity one's reduced to flesh 

I sleep, sometimes waking to the cries echo 
Who's there, who is it I am corresponding 
Who's there that I am not alone in myself 
Perhaps conscience or imagination run wild 
Or just another voice of life leading us on the journey
