A voice

I stand in a endless plane full of chaos and casualty

While the world spins and hugs me close

A voice whispers to not grow up in a hurry

And a mind full of creativity it shows

 

Forward three years I hear it again

Calling me towards history to be witness to the passage

As shielding me from the past would be in vain

For the voice says without this knowledge many shall perish

 

Two years pass before I hear the familiar voice once more

Saying to use that creativity and I’ll go far

I listen and my creativity I explore

And this time the voice has an avatar

 

Years pass and the voice has stayed by my side

As I look at the present in disgust as I see echoes of time.

A hand brushes against mine and cried

I look down to them and realize that the voice I heard was me intime

And I gladly take on the role of A voice
