Could Be Anywhere...

Awaken

A dear sister writes to remind
asks what will you?
Be you still, forward or back
be you filth or be you pure?

Shall you take the Gift
and hide it beneath rags?
Or dear brother,
will you be, what you may?

A sense of royalty
God gifted in words, nay deed.
Shall the craft build
chronicle or encourage, enable?

What are you doing
with the talents gifted to you?
Sitting with watch, perhaps wait
or striding out in faith?

The stream of life
is nary still nor immobile.
Are you stepping, my friend
reaching fore higher ground?

Thank you , dear sister
for a reminder, break is over.
Time to get back to work
time to message love, life.

Excellent work here. I love the wording for sure.
