Has the Voice of Courage spoken to you yet?

  

Have you the world shakers

Music makers

Poets 

Writers and entrepreneurs


Heard my softest of whispers that serenade you all from elsewhere?


Insidious does it seem to call


Inner murmurs that will not give you simple surrender or restful sleep


But a curious voice instead


Slowly vibrating throughout all your inner mental walls 

 

If you're blessed


A sweet voice that constantly whispers


To hold fast to your dreams


A voice that inspires your sometimes tired eyes to gleam


Some may smile and try to diminish


What flows throughout your fast-flowing bloodstreams


Some may laugh


For they haven't the strength self-belief or real courage


To try to adapt

To swim upstream


But to you

Yes you

Who aspire


Beyond momentary thoughts and daily daydreams


Those who embrace its soft whispering kiss


All your hopes and dreams will one day soon

Reign supreme 


For you are your own greatest dream redeemer 


And not just one of the billions 


Who aren't blessed to be one of lifes true believers


So be it
