Poem Of The Day  02.06.2025

- The Ruby Of Silence -


 Embrace the silence, listen within
 Respecting others means learning to listen
 Experience being heard is healing
 Listen with your whole self, not just your ears

 Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom
 The words of the inner voice
 are the source of our hidden genius
 The truth of the subconscious
 Let silence grow and blossom

 The senses must be sharpened
 Silence is a powerful force, but don't fear it
 How often do you give yourself quiet time?
 Interrupt the hustle and bustle and focus on your well-being
 - the sound of water gurgling in the stream

I had posted a comment on this poem earlier, but sad it is missing. I didn't see your POTD in time. When I saw it I posted a comment. But through some glitch, it is missing. I really enjoyed reading your poem of great wisdom. In silence, we become more sagacious. Once again hearty Congratulations, though belated. Love and hugs~

So wonderful and so wise, Anne-Lise! Like learning to listen for the coming of summer. Learning to listen has almost become an extinct skill! Congratulations on your POTD! Hugs and blessings.

Anne-Lise, you've highlighted a very important concept in mental health. Listening to our inner voice and taking time to understand what we are feeling (why we feel the way we do) goes a long way to making us happy. I do believe you understand this aspect of thought. Even if I only read this one poem of yours, I would be impressed by what you are saying. WISE you are indeed!!
