Chosen POTD 25 March 2026

The Inner Self is a Clean Lake


                                                          The inner self is a clean lake,
                                                              Reflects blue of the sky,
                                                        Even when we sleep, it`s awake
                                                               And marks a divine tie.

                                                                 It is ever clear bright
                                                              Leads on the path of light
                                                               Mirrors the truth upright.

                                                        Let`s not the inward depth forsake,
                                                              The inner self is a clean lake.

Thank you, dear poet for providing the opportunity to carve a Quietus,a form new to me at which I tried my hand for the first time. It turned out to be a POTD, which though an honour to me, also redounds on designer of the form. Thank you also for appreciating the above poem. Sending you blessings of light.
