My Inner Voice Told Me

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.

SP, a great synopsis of looking at what you've done with fond remembrance. Picking a person to be with is one heck of an important choice. Hope you're well. Sending smiles!!

Nice poem. Sometimes in dire despair, I try to hear what my soul speaks. Great poem.

It is said that one should not worry. The doctor says so. I don't believe him.

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!
