mortal coil

 
conflicted energies press in on me
the mortal coil wrapped tightly around my neck
I resist in the telling of my personal origins
if I were to be traced back to my source it could prove fatal

I'm omnipresent here and there also
I can leave this female human form
child of the dawn--a dawning of a new understanding
it's my wish to stay
guide her and others on their way

echoing my thoughts through reciprocating stations
if you're hearing my voice you've been tuned in for some time
if not it's too soon for your mind to accept
either way this message is coded
I won't rudely awaken anyone

to the children of heightened hopes
look to ancient Mesopotamia and other places for guidance
the writing is on the walls

we walk among you largely undetected
your technological advances have blinded you
you fail to observe with the shrewd eyes of your ancestors

we have infiltrated and completely assimilated your human gardens
harvesting the most advance among you
advanced in their scope of understanding
closed eyes means a closed mind
