The call of your calling,
a faint murmur,
a solitary note,
suspended over the horizon,
hesitant to disrupt,
the flow of your life.
But it did arrive,
unannounced, without fanfare,
that ephemeral note...
reverberated in your being;
that no one heard...
All debits and credits
losses and profits-
started erasing themselves.
Through your choked voice,
through your tear-stained eyes,
you said:
The call finally came.
Sitting in that same old room,
the same faint musty smell,
the same unkempt bed,
you felt like drawing a new breath.
The call finally came.

Yay! First comment! My friend, this is moving. The call slipping in quietly, then echoing until “the call finally came”...that refrain hits hard, like a breath finally being released. Strong, and very beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you so much for your kind words, your review, and the fave—truly appreciated! 🙏
You are most welcome!
A most inspiring poem nicely written
Thank you very much 🙏. Your words are an inspiration
You are most welcome
There is a sadness here that seemed to linger for some time after my first read .. and then this was tempered with a sigh of resignation and relief .. it takes quite some poem to have that kind of impact on me these days (like a time lapse or delay) always a sure sign of quality .. write on brother ..

I am truly happy that you liked it. Thank you very much. Your words are inspirational to me 🙏
The call comes but will we ever be ready? Will we be ready for the next? I love this poem a lot.
Sadly no answer from my side. But it's the right question. Someday we may find the answer, if we choose to keep looking for it. Thanks for your support. Really appreciate it🙏
Of course!
Some calls...... I find it hard to be specific, because for me the call itself felt abstract, while the feelings it evoked definitely did not.
I see it so well painted.
Good catch and here I am returning back to the pavilion 😀. I used the call on broader perspective. Tons of thanks for the read. Appreciate your support 🙏
Glad to see I wasn't too far off beam....
