Do you hear it, too?

Far away.

like an old phones jingle,

soft but consistent.

or just an illusion?

however – focused

i can feel the vibration

it’s real and it’s there.

pulling my awareness

into this room deep down in myself.

entering it, i become sharp and present.

alive i am floating towards it

a crystalline telephone.

full of excitement

i pick up the halo receiver

hearing this gentle whisper:

“wake up! it’s me, God!”

and in this blissful moment

of electrified joy,

i hang up

asleep – it’s dark and numb

and what is that?

Do you hear it, too?

Far away.
