Some Musings on the Inner Self

Written 24 November 2023 No. 1260 New Verse Poem Posted Nov. 21 Onwards Poetry Contest Sponsored by Brian Strand Some Musings on the Inner self If in the stillness of our room We gently close our eyes, From the very depth of the gloom We may sense some far ties. If in the midst of the silence We deep open our ears And ponder on our existence We may a thin voice hear. If with a calm serenity We muse with peering sense, With mindful serenity We may learn life`s essence. If in the pitch of solitude We peer at our own soul, We may feel a deep quietude In our mind as a whole. If in the peak of stern stillness We scan the inner self, We may view a gleam of brightness That longs to guide ourselves. In the depth of the inner self Lies some gentle brethren Very much akin to ourselves And a tender human. The inner self is like a pond Reflecting man`s image, Cherishing human love and bond. All throughout the ages.
