The Prophet Of Dumaz Speaks


 

(A lone voice whispers)


Hey you

You do realize 

You picked this life 


Before you were born


All the people you've met

Loved 

Hated


Family

Friends

Lovers

Situations


Hardships

Encountered

In whatever nation


When you signed your soul's timeline

Up high


Somewhere

In the Deep Divine


It may be a strange thing 

Knowing this


But consoling

All the same 

In a bizarre way


Souls

Some say


Need to face 

Trials and tribulations 

To soar higher


To be refined


So maybe

What you're presently 

Going through


Is a journey of love or pain

You


Yes

You


Have already planned

To go through 

Again


So view challenges 

In a new way


Don't be daunted 

Scared or swayed 


Face them with courage

And fortitude 


For to not do so

This time around

Would be rude


Or you could just crumble

And turn to dust


Only to ask 

For the same experience 

Again 


With your soul

Entombed in a new husk


So trust your instincts

And I hope and pray


This got you thinking 

That all you're enduring 

You've asked for


Even knowing me 

Via this poetic review

To remind you


Keep going

You still have

So much to do
