a poem about how having an open mind could save your soul
He still talks to me

I used to see him when I was a child
He would come to me as I was young and wild
In times of need he would appear
Or even when a was in fear I new he was near
He shows you him self when you are young and you have an open mind
But then our minds narrow so he just leaves us signs
I can still remember when I could see
And He used to talk to me

Then one time things went real bad and I started having dreams
I could not move i could not talk i could not scream
I just lay still and watch the shadows on the wall
This dream did not make sense at all
Night after night it is the same
I lay still and can not move full of shame
Slowly after nights of terror and fear
The dreams they started to come clear
I have begun to pray as I lay still
This dream it is real
Good and evil they fight for my soul in front of me
As I know He used to talk to me

I done wrong and It new my soul was in it's reach
So It attacked me and sucked on my soul like a bloody leech
It confused my mind and told me Lie's
I was like a child no longer wise
He was shut out and could not reach my core
He new for my soul he must go to war.
He gave me those dreams so I could see
The truth that He still talks to me

7 years have past since that bloody war
The dreams are gone and I don’t hear him much any more
But I know He can hear me and He is not far
Because even though it is not visible I still wear a scar
So I leave my mind open so I can hear
My ears are open and my mind is clear
So I will keep my guard up knowing that It is waiting for another opportunity
But It will not get one because, if I’m listening He will talk to me

""Have an open mind and believe as much as you say you do""
