Some will say imagination took hold of me today.

I heard two voices. No, it was three.

I heard my mind. I heard my soul.

I heard a third outside of me.

All my voices, but the Third was new.

My mind was very quick and abrasive,

My soul took a while to be heard,

But before I could let it speak,

I’d feel a calm and warmth come over me,

and I listened to the Third.

The Third would say, “Look!”

and I’d know where to take my eyes.

The Third would lead me to see

a dragonfly across a field.

Over and over, I’d see the signs.

The question you’re speaking of - I heard it, too.

It was in my voice. It came to me

when I was about to fall asleep

one night. It was the Third voice.

It was me, awakening to you.
