Someone is calling your name

Writing prompt for August 7, 2007 from yahoo group Daily Writing Prompts.

Someone is calling your name
the echoes are reverberating through the clouds
sending chill up your back
because you recognize the voice,
but can't place it;
can't associate a face or name with it.

Someone is calling your name
demanding that you pay attention
to the still small voice of reason;
demanding that you pay attention
to the gut feeling
that is your only link to ...
to what reality or something else all together.

Someone is calling your name
it echoes across mountains and valleys,
reverberates through cities and towns
causes the wind to move wheat in the fields
and snow to drift across the windshields of cars
on the express way.

Someone is calling your name
is it your mother's voice out of the past
calling you home to supper;
is it a lover's voice out of the present
calling you back to his embrace;
is it your own voice from the future
warning you of coming events.

Someone is calling your name
a voice you have heard before,
but can't place ... don't know from where it's calling
but someone is calling your name.
