A Higher Calling

So tired…

Just want to close my eyes

Drift to that world void of lies

Where I can swim in thin air

Where things seem to be fair

This world keeps calling

I seem to just keep falling

Lay my head in the grass

Time eternal allowed to pass

Sleeping while seasons change

To me nothing is strange

This world keeps calling

I seem to just keep stalling

On my head grows a lotus

Barely awake I hardly notice

How long I’ve been here unknown

Covered in growth, body not shown

This world keeps calling

I seem to just keep bawling

WAIT!

This isn’t me who is he

You have things to be

Don’t just lay there get up

Listen while I fill your cup

This world keeps calling

Your perception keeps falling

Answer and fulfill your duty

Choose to see the beauty

Awaken and now is the time

To avoid would be a crime

This world keeps calling

Did you choose to be stalling

The plan has always been

In you I am always within

The world has very few choices

Just follow me and the voices

This world keeps calling

You must keep brawling

"A higher calling" speaks to me--"this world keeps calling; I seem to just keep stalling". So often we stall our happiness in life, thinking there is always tomorrow. But tomorrow is all in our head. We create the construct to avoid living. I'd love to see more poems or even short stories about dreams fulfilled and unfulfilled.
