Good night

 

An intriguing thought to carry into next week.

Salute.

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
