early morning voices . . .

[Bill]

early morning voices

 

it is 2:30 in the Morning

and i am wide awake

peeking through the corners of my eyes

at the light

and it is bright

and i am listening

to

early morning voices

 

listening for what must be told

and i am grateful

when i used to be hateful

about being wide awake

at 2:30 AM

 

the world is not too forgiving

of those who make mistakes

it demands of you to make

your own way

well, that’s OK

what can one say

that’s the way it should be anyway

and i am listening

to early morning voices

 

but we must be mindful

of the seeds we sow

for in our gardens

that dictates the fruit that will grow

if any thing grows at all

for many a souls who have fallen

no longer listen to the calling

of their Souls

beckoning them to come to the light

for night, spiritual darkness

is of our own doing

and we must listen to these

early morning voices

 

many times we are the jailers of our hopes

did i say many times

let me change that to

all times

we poets we escape through out rhymes

and our pen

as we let the anguish of injustice

we once held within

 

but know my friend

life is just

it is make it or bust

and trust me

no good thing happens

for he whose intent is not aligned

regardless on the designs one may have

so say the

early morning voices

 

it is now 3:21 AM

and i am still sitting here listening

to what may come

each word

each line spoken

is but a token reflection

of my sum

 

the struggle

the trials

we must face

in our denials

of our higher self

do we get a second chance

to romance our dreams

to dance in the joys

of their realities

i ask

and i listen

to these

early morning voices

 

and when they speak

there is no denying

the absence of lying

as they enlighten me

that words will not change the world

unless we allow them to manifest

in to action

and that is the simple fact

though words do have power

to initiate

we are the Initiates this hour

this minute

right now

right here

of all we desire

 

we create the fires

that will lay waste

to the waste of our past

and we must cast our intent forward

toward the factualization

of our actualization

of our visions

and it starts with us

to trust

and be what is missing in this world

in our selves

 

forgiving

 

so says the muses

who chooses to speak

as

early morning voices
