AWAKEN
Awaken silent friend that
I found sleeping here inside,
Time for us once more to share
The laughter and friend words
That were a symphony we played
Somewhere far away and long ago…
Awaken now the ears that heard your melodies,
Awaken now the heart that knew you then.
Let these eyes see and know you
Growing like the butterfly
Whose life no longer footsteps
By the inch across a stem
But soars from rose to daffodil
Across clear streams and over hills…
Somehow I know that
While he crawled from leaf to leaf
He had the same joy that I feel
In finding you asleep inside
As he labored many days
To cross a patch of garden
Covered now in one brief moment
On his rainbow-colored wings
I know he knew it then…
I’ve learned to hear you once again
So you can wake up now
And we can share the joy that
He has given us to paint
Upon the rainbow moments
Of eternity.
About this poem
From Einstein and Jesus and so many others, we have been told we have souls, the Kingdom of Heaven is within each one of us, and that God is love. Our contact to spirit is hidden when we become human and we forget our true reality. This poem is about remembering who we really are and once again accessing the divine relationship our souls always have with eternity. .
