The Voice

Once upon a parting wish, a gallant mind did say...

I am to leave this planet Earth in fact this very day.
I have fulfilled my mission here, it took me many times,
I leave these words of wisdom weaved within these many rhymes.
My days of wishful thinking I have mastered through and through, I
pray, your minds will listen, is my parting wish for you.
I know all minds want to be free, I saw it when I lived with thee.
I know that you can all hear me, so listen very carefully...
The Voice, I say, will be your guide.
The Voice, is there for you to find, deep within your mind!
And then the mind had one last look, back at the planet that once
took, so many times returning here to get his mind so crystal clear!
Farewell to all I leave behind, your minds will someday follow mine,
dont let it be a gruelling grind, take heed and master all you find.
Just then he heard a sobbing sound, it came from deep within the
ground.
His mind he stretched so he could see, tell me what does trouble thee.
I am to leave but I could stay, I fear to leave you in this way.
Fear is what does trouble me, I look around and all I see, on all my
Earth eternally. Every mind that cometh here, is full of all this Fear!
The Earth was truly saddened, what on Earth could have happened?
Please stay and help all minds out there, help them to be crystal clear.
I trust it will not be a chore, I fear that fear will conquer all, and Earth
will be no more!
This mind, he thought about all this, his wish, was minds all full of
bliss.

How could he leave the Earth so sad? This feeling he did know was
bad.
She needed to be feeling glad!
I see Earth minds are troubling thee, he said back to the Earth.
These minds all should be worry free, all minds should live forever
free, with crystal clarity!
The Earth, she looked back up at him with such a passing glance.
Do you really think all minds, would really have a chance?
Would you really stay with me, and help all minds so they could see,
the fullness of their life, and not just all their strife?
Yes I think they have a chance, and I can help them to enhance, the
balance that they need.
I love you Earth, and you are worth, the power stored in me.
I can stay to help all minds to be who they should be.
I will use the elements, the minds will need development, to learn
how to be free.
The Forest first, the Meadows next, the Mountains they must see.
I will be their inner Voice to guide them gallantly!
Their minds embraced so brilliantly, it shone throughout the galaxy, it
was a sight to see.
They pledged their mind light would be there, for all eternity.
All the Earth minds saw this light...
It shone so bright...
All through the night!
