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.
