Voices

In slumber's embrace, whispers do creep,
Guiding my heart where affections do seep,
Dreams, like morning mist, can quickly evade,
Yet the voices persist, in memory's cascade.

Love's tender murmur or thoughts on a ride,
In echoes they linger, side by side,
Desires of lost love or vows to keep,
Invisible threads that emotions steep.

Chatter of kin that rouses me from night,
Guiding me forward, seeking their light,
Inspiration's whisper my soul does feed,
In the void, it's the compass I heed.

Dreams born of mind's current, voices they bear,
States of my being find their voice in the air,
Joy paints the dreams, a melody complete,
While silence breeds nightmares, voices entreat.

Enjoyed reading these musings, Jay. If silence breeds nightmares, perhaps we are not in silence but still in bondage to lower mind?

Excellent rhyme poem, Jay. We all interact with the voices we hear. I always say, "It's okay to hear voices, even argue with them, but when One starts losing the arguments, that's where the problems begin." Have a pleasant weekend, my friend. Bill p.s. Good luck in the contest!
