Sounds In My Soul

As a young man I was not very smart, for brain cells they were never my game, but I did what I could for without any doubt through hard work I had ample to gain. The cleverer folk seemed to learn things with ease while I had to struggle indeed. My memory it seemed so pathetic at times that I had to replant every seed. But working things out just came normal to me and this is what carried me through. Instead of just knowing the things I'd been told I'd learn what the reason was too! My total approach was directed by this for to seek was the way I would gain. It just didn't sink in what they meant me to know, though I found it myself with some pain. So the things I know now are unique to me bought with searching, acceptance and time. I know that my views are the bricks of my mind, foundations built up in my prime. But the things that I feel are the sounds in my soul, they're the voices that all play their part. No knowledge or learning can wash them away for these things are entrenched in my heart. A bond strong indeed to all mankind’s seed where my being is mingled with soul, the place I must go when my God makes it so for it’s there, that I have my prime role. Sometimes to share in everyone's care but at times just to offer my hand or to help someone there to release the despair that they found as they entered this land. Sometimes just a word is still needed here to convince folk that death's not the end. A few personal thoughts shared only by them to prove they’ve still bonds with their friends. At times evil people who never were nice will cause people harm though the veil and if not deterred from their mischievous ways leave hate and despair in their trail. It’s then that my strength is assisted by God in fighting his cause with my mind, for closing the pathways to evil‘s intent takes an army of goodness combined. No master's degree that I never would gain could help bridge the path to the soul, but the voices inside that you feel with your heart Is the way that lead straight to the 'whole'. So be not afraid of those who would scoff then denounce you and chuckle with mirth, let them proclaim that it's all in your mind, for it is…. and it's been there since birth. Ivor G Davies
