My Inner Voice Told Me

Listen to poem:
Written: June 08, 2025, contest Sponsored by: Anoucheka Gangabissoon. Quote "Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder." By RUMI ****************** As the soft fingers of dawn spread light, And dusk fades, in a hollow sight. A mumbling incoherence stirs within my soul, My muddled mind benumbed, lacking control. It hums quietly in the glow of the moon, A wave that goes unseen under the flow of noon. Proles of spasmodic gait lead me to a chaotic tide, Where anxieties ease, and concerns subside. No passing fancy, no shallow sound, But wisdom is weaved, madly wound. A beacon illuminated by love's lance, A strong blaze that endures time's dance. It whispers a soft but asinine song, A mesalliance whispers right and wrong. Red coral compass made by a cosmic hand, To keep me secure, against the macabre's stand. Once silenced by clairsentience fears, Fumbled under jugged crushing years. But embers sparked and cacophony revived, A child's voice— a robotic drone thrived! Now in a rhythm of bliss, hand in hand, We dance where quiet whimsy musing stands. No longer achingly chained, fog, or fright, Only mirrors of ecstasy carved in gold light. So I sail the swell, in harmony and trust, No need for clamor or whimsical must. For my unencumbered voice, free to rejoice, Has always known—this is the right choice.

When fears and anxieties haunt us, we have to be guided by that inner voice. It is- "No passing fancy, no shallow sound, But wisdom weaved, madly wound. A beacon illuminated by love's lance, A strong blaze that endures time's dance." With it, 'all anxieties ease and concerns subside'. I am commenting on your poem using your own words as I have no better words. Lovely poem, dear friend. All the Best!
