PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

pardon me whilest I listen but with only half an ear

does not what I start to say now seem socially speaking

quite queer

if so, it is merely because to me much of what is said

seems frivolous to the point of being unclear

strange that I should make a note about such a problematic

nature in myself professed career

words spoken ring with no alarming, unhappy truth

when you are so very near

but there is an echo of a whisper heard that runs divided

along the spine of every even halfhearted fear

could it be the pale sound of many a private plea made

in vain to an indeed higher all knowing force

hoping, perhaps even praying for a much needed, given

sign to drift down from a knowledge filled yet uninvolved source

the Asker conveniently forgets that this mentioned source knows

and cares for all who ask of him to care

and for those who need his loving guidance most of all

even when unasked, for them he is kindly still there

I truly do believe that he unselfishly gives man the

needed inner ability to be self aware

and he who is near to that of himself

he is one of many that his truly divine holiness will

spare................
