MY OWN EMISSARY
In darkened rooms on wakeful nights
when nature’s harmonies are hushed
and prisoned spirits seek release
I hear the words of sapient men.
Their counsel squares a straying mind
with purpose found in leaden air
in isolation absolute
I am my own emissary.

We all find our own emissary within us Michael, I know mine is there and always will be.
Good Cartoon.
Thanks Andy
A fine write Michael. Emissary - is there three of you again - Me, Myself, and I? I've started that nonsense again! lol.
You're forgetting 'You' - did you sleep well ? I did.
Yes, 'you' slept well, thanks. I mean 'myself'! Who are you today - me, myself, or I, or you? That's 4 people now.

Aren't we all, unless we are easily led.
What a shame we have nothing in writing from god. It's all man made clap trap fed into us as kids accompanied by 'fear of god'. Some never recover, obviously they're not their own emissary.
Religion and culture are sadly inbred from an early age. Not always a bad thing but it does deprive us from deciding for ourselves and once influenced not many are able to exit the mould
Michael,
I really like your response to dusk arising’s comment. So true!

Great cartoon UNCLE MIKE : My PAPA used to tell me stories ALI BABA y las quarenta Ladrones : Lawers : Garage Mechanics : Real Estate Salesmen etc !
All the MPS Poets are using big words today : Fortunately I had a Public School Education (dont tell Brian !) Claudelle was talking about COLATERAL and now you with EMISSARY ! In essence an Emissary is an IMPORTANT POST a Person acting on behalf of the Government or Head of State etc. To be ones OWN EMISSARY is an interesting concept : it implies one has self-worth : worthy of an Emissary : I like that : much food for thought. In everything I do and say (and think !) I represent ME !
I will take more care in future !
Blessings in all you do : ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Please check FUSION : Fave Cuddly Toy : Thanks !
I am my own representative - my own ambassador - I am in charge of myself - I speak for myself - no one else speaks for me -l thanks Angela
