i heard someone say "shape-shifters", mind drifters, re-gifters?
i heard someone say truth and politics in the same sentence.
i heard someone say words that were laced with fire that burnt my ear, damn! that was cold.
i heard someone pity me, patronize me and criticize me at the same time without even taking a breath. (mad skillz)
i heard someone say "man, your poems are too long, write 'sum short if you want me to read 'um". (i gave them my fourth finger)
i heard someone say "astral travel with gold bands" and i got lost in my mind's imaginary abyss. now i'm open to all thoughts.
i heard someone whisper something in the distance and by the time it reached me it filled my heart with gladness. i think those were good words.
i heard someone talking to me in my sleep......"now only if i could get you to commit to my Word when you're awake".
i heard someone complain about the gas prices and brag about their new fendi. (oh, you got it like that?)
i heard they named one of them Ike and realised that once again my island has been saved.
i heard someone say Obama or Die.
i heard someone say "so what!!" to being different, go on girl...let it out!!
i heard someone scream at the top of their lungs verbally raping my sense of self then gently apologize the next second and i was scared. these are the signs...
i heard someone cry out loud last night for the first time (i wonder how long she's been holding that one in?)
i heard someone mention forgiveness and i must admit i'm working on it.
i heard someone with my mind and once i was able to filter out the background noise i realised i was blessed to have good energy around me.
i heard someone start but i didn't listen long enough to hear them finish. i am tired of listening to negativity.
finally..
i heard God in a dream praying for me and now i feel..
better.
i can be.

hey maaga, this is really great!
And don't worry about what others think so much, your poetry is some of the best I've read. It's not too long...whatever is in your heart should come out, be it long or short. Keep your faith...at times that is all we have. God is good!
God is Good!!
i've always heard someone talking to me and never knew who it was, i guess my mind was not open to the endless possibility that is God. now i try my best to listen attentively.
thanks so so much for reading and writing!!
keep inspiring..
