Voices in my head

Sometimes in the silence of my head

voices find space and begin to talk

I am reminded that here is that place

the one that I longed for many years

a place where joy is in abundance

a place where every day is a sunrise

even in the foggiest of fall, all dusk

a ray of sunrise finds its way inside


In the silence of my head music wafts

soft drumming and winds cloud the air

a beautiful symphony just for my soul

I am reminded of the many lonely nights

of manifestations and late night chants

of tears and a heart so pained and broken

I called all the names I could remember

and my forefathers showed up for me


In the eerie silence of my heart

a higher being interceded on my behalf

a higher being reminded me of my worth

and guardian angels were sent my way

I have never known a love so pure 

and a heart with nothing but gratitude

if this is what I am living longer for

then I am showing up and showing out


In the dreams the voices finally spoke

your mind is what will take you far

the universe has laid your constellation

your paths are known to you if you listen

you are exactly where you should be

for that is the path to your destination

carry a lighter load in your mind

so that the journey is lighter in your heart


Sometimes in the middle of those voices

I hear my own voice whispering to me

as your heart desires the skies listen

the clouds will always cover you from rain

you will go beyond the waters of the land

you are a protected and preserved child

and I believe because I am a dreamer.
