And the Child Calls and Calls


the speaker calls for the listener
the writer calls for the reader
the performer calls for the audience
the artist calls for the soul
and the child calls and calls
what is heard
what is read
what is now known
what do we yet trust
and the child calls and calls
what do we answer
what do we do
what do we plan
what do we yet dream
and the child calls and calls.

The truth, the innocence, and the all-knowing spirit of life fills our first breath. Who and what answers our first cry? What happens in the moments of life that fill the years to follow? Do we become the sum total of who touches, who answers, who denies, who ignores, who accepts, who rejects, who encourages? What moves us out of the shadow of our own experience? ... commentary continued on above link to APOGEE Learning Enhancement Training Systems™.

And when we fully appreciate that "abstractions" are those particular parts, perceived in a particular way that have grown out of our experience with nature and SELF - we see all expressions as calls of soul, self or spirit, longing to be heard.

Calls


The speaker calls for the listener
The writer calls for the reader
The performer calls for the audience
The artist calls for the soul
And the child calls and calls
What is heard
What is now known
What do we yet trust
And the child calls and calls
What do we answer
What do we do
What do we plan
What do we yet dream
And the child calls and calls.

It is in us

It is in us that there are
all the rivers and the seas
all the colors of the rainbow
all the calls of the wind
all the beckoning buds of Spring
all the blooms of Summer
all the splendor of Fall
all the reverie of Winter
It is in us that there are
all the sounds
all the light
all the emotion
all the music
The music, the music
of passion
of quest
of thought
of resolve
The embrace of
heart
hand
The music, the music
the lure be known
rapture in the touch
soul sublime.
