The Call

by Karla MarKay


The heart beats
Have you not heard?
It beats its call
Have you not listened?
Take a moment…
To embrace
The Beat
To dance
To the Rhythm 
To feel
The pounding pulsation
Of the inner call
So close 
Yet all too distant
Have you not remembered?
The compelling invitation
The inner longing
A longing long forgotten
Long before Routine 
Took place as Queen
The heart knocks 
Have you answered?
Its urgency grows
Louder and louder
Stronger and stronger
Ignore no longer
Answer the call
Before it all
Becomes
Routine.
