Voices
by Belinda van Rensburg

From the ashes of time I can hear hollow laughter -
Calling me, calling me, to the hereafter:
Forgotten voices and vile lying tongues,
Who penned morals tainted by God's fallen sons.

Empty it rings in the stillness of night,
Whilst soft blackened velvet helps shadow the Light.
Curling, unfurling, gray fingers of vice,
Destroying my life with their evil advice.

Temptation in wrappers with bright shiny strings,
And wooed by the words of the songs Satan sings.
Believing lies tasting like sweet candy floss;
No time for regrets, and eternally lost!

Hi bobinfaith:

Well, it happened like this: we were riding on our bike and out of nowhere the words of the first verse just came to me. I asked my husband to stop the bike and I immediately wrote them down on a scrap of paper.

As soon as we arrived home I sat down and the words of the rest of the poem simply came to me as well. I believe it is inspired .

Blessings!
