Silence Listens Poetry Contest

Sponsored by: Craig Cornish

Poem Of The Day  02.06.2025

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

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!!

Belated congratulations Anne-Lise on your well deserved potd honour. I'm taking a break from soup at the moment as I'm busy putting together a slideshow for a forthcoming family reunion in October. I've got hundreds of photos to deal with but getting there. Hope you're keeping well. Tom
