Go ye forth

The silences of my soul;
the councils of my heart,
and here I heard a voice
“Speak,” I heard it say
And I said “me,” and I said; “why”
And I said “how” and “when” and “where”
and many crooked exclamations;
ill-begotten, convoluted conversations,
And yet no resolution, restitution…?
“Speak,” I hear it say,
“but how shall I, yes me?”
Son of the unblessed
Seeker of misfortune
Guardian of the empty city
Speak my name if thou knowest me;
Tell me who I am, no, who you are.
There be little understanding for what I am.
But voice in my head, be thou real?
Alas, for what is real and what is not?
“Speak” I heard it say
“Speak and they will come”
“Speak and ye shall grow”
“Speak for I am here”
“Speak for I am listening”
“Speak and question me not”
“Speak and question ye not”
“Speak and go ye forth.”
