Test Me

 The clear night sky

Shines down upon me
Calling my name
To see if i hear

For where I stand
There is no moon
Nor stars shine above
Yet i hear a voice
Soft and rugged

The darkness is calling me
Seeing who I am
Seeing if i am able
Seeing if I am true

Again someone is calling me
No face to show
No form in the distance
Only the shadows of trees

I stand still
Listening
Waiting
Seeing
If just maybe he will call again

That whisper
Soft rugged voice
Speaks again
Yet, i hear nothing
Nor do i see

I concentrate on what I hear
He has to show
His true form
Doesn’t he

He is testing me
Seeing if I am true
Seeing if I am worthy
Seeing if I can let go

A shadow appears before me
Still in no true form
Studying me
Making sure i am who I am

Can I fight this fight
Only he knows for sure
Even if i no longer can see
For now he will test me
