Whispers In The Dark

(A lone voice whispers)

Through
Ayahuasca induced
Deep dreams

In the dark Amazonian
Jungles

I remembered this being
Before I was born

In a place
Un-walked
By humans

Beyond time and space

An angelic being

Magisterial named
Phestomilee

Whispered
In my ear

Transferring her ethereal
Energies deep within me

You my son

Will regal the world
With the unfurling of
The many layers of your soul

Teardrops of poetic prose

Shall fall silently from your soft tender lips

As you embrace the many quills

Of vocabulary and write
Through

Lit and illuminated

Overflowing within its grips
Of its ever ensuing quips

You are now blessed forever
To narrate stories

To
Shine a light in the shadows

Of the reader's inquisitive minds

And
With this pre-conception whisper

I shall follow and guide
You through time

If you ever meet fellow kindred Spirits souls

I have previously echoed this Sacred Sentiment

Before they too were born

Remember it's simply me
Sounding my poetic horn

For

There

In their communities
You shall find yourself home

Amongst friends
When you are eventually born

So be it
She whispered

A silent symbolic spell
I now pass on

As once midnight skies
Turn turquoise blue

Is that why I
Know you

And you now
Know me

Have you too
Been whispered to

By Phestomilee?
