The knowing

         
I closed my eyes    
and covered my ears    

the universe was willing    
but I was afraid to see    
all the things it was revealing    
    
for a time with courage    
I wrote as I was bade    
but then it became too much    
and I willed the spirits away    
    
opener of portals    
where deities entered    
spoke of things beyond my understanding    
after awhile I wanted to see only as every other being    
    
my wish was granted    
the spirits hushed    
and with them my creativity departed    
I was gifted this right    
to speak as led    
if not the doors will close    
and I will be alone again    
    
the stars reached in and shone    
inside my mortal body    
connecting me with the universe in every dimension    
to in turn give a peek to all who are listening    
a quiet song is being hummed by all living    
    
the dead also speak    
and are heard    
they know I hear and am willing    
to pass on a message    
to one in need. one who is hurting    
    
so this is my task    
to be fearless and brave    
to channel the cosmos    
and sing its ancient song    
    
it's marked in the hearts of all Earthlings    
forgotten for a moment    
until at the right time its brought back to memory
