Second Voice

Pacing back and forth
Through an empty church cooridoor,
I closed my eyes to hear the lord-
Echoing inside my ears
Was the sound of my fears,
Coming from the lips of internal mirrors.
Silence!
Dare not speak.
Listen carefully to me.
I have found a second voice,
Playing with me like toys...
I verse its word without choice.
Perhaps I am a silent prophet,
Or young writer grown exausted,
But I script this writ as a hostage.
We are more than we can know,
With omnipresence waiting to grow-
Our bodies are vesels for our souls.
Breathing?
Why waste your time?
The world is waiting,
Go get your dreams.

Please tell me what you think

    Powerful write. I liked the part of bodies being vessels for souls. Never thought of it like that before. Makes me think of how life can be like a river and we float different ways in life depending on what choices we make.
    I liked the ending, too. It seemed inspirational like to make people want to go out and achieve what they want to do in life. Keep up the great writes.

      Thank you

      I appreciate that you enjoyed this work...
      The word writ was spelled purposely as that...
      It esssentially means the same as write, or paprer, scripture...
      I just chose writ because it sounded better to me than any other choice that came to mind.
      I am planning, if I had previously stated, to publish soon. If may be of any help to me in finding a strong dependable outlet, I'd be most thankful. I am researching what companies seem to be the most advantageous for my work. I am not looking to make a living from my writing, but would love to. I am looking to make small profits, but want my words to reach the most eyes possible. Again thank you for being such a wonderful fan, if I may call you that. I love to see that my poetry is being appreciated and because of you and others, I am able to determine what poems have the most effect on my audience. Thank you dearly,
      I hope to hear from you in the coming days.
      TAKE CARE...

      Peace and love,
