Whisperings of My Soul

The words of my soul are not just for me, The words that follow were like a decree. “These words are eternal, I share with thee, To be shared with others to some degree. Every word I speak will always be true, Nothing I say will be only for you. My thoughts and my words, although they’re unique, Will only be passed on if you write or speak. Don’t edit or alter, don’t change a word, Just pass them along, just like you’ve heard. When my words are conveyed whether spoken or written, By the truths within them, some will be smitten. The answers you’re seeking, though soulfully sought, Like, why effort it seems, is sometimes for naught. To you I’ll reveal and clearly explain, As soothing and fresh as a springtime rain. Thanks for allowing my thoughts to appear, More thoughts are coming to dispel any fear. My thoughts once hidden will now have a voice, Given their freedom because of your choice.”

Nice, Bill, when soul whispers, we better heed and speak out:)

I agree, Joanna, it's a blessing to be able to hear the voice of one's soul. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

A really interesting viewpoint, Bill. Those who have lost touch with their inner voice are the ones we dread the most. There wouldn't be nearly as much unrest in this tumultuous world if people followed their hearts instead of their heads.

Amen to that, Lasaad. The mind can lead us to strange places sometimes and flat out deceive us at others. Thanks for the visit my friend. I'll be posting a new poem or two this week. :-) Have a great week! Bill

A very unique perspective, Bill. Those who don't hear their soul are the one's we fear. If everyone would let their soul navigate their life, there would be a lot less left hand turns:)

I agree, and like the added humor. When confused while driving ( before mapquest) I'd always tell the driver, " Turn right ... right is always right and left is only right half of the time." A poet friend in Texas, Bill

"My thoughts once hidden will now have a voice, Given their freedom because of your choice.” I understand that you have begun to speak after a stint of silence. Speak out words of wisdom dear friend. We are willing to listen. Beautiful poem.

Exceptional poetry... I believe in everything you mentioned... Doctor Lee Jamloski in his book the art of trust talks about the words that we hear from our souls.

Thanks for the visit and the ref to Dr. Jamloski's book, Pashang. I haven"t read anything by Dr. Jamloski, I'llm have to look into them. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Such a creative and uniquely penned poem. Personifying the soul and allowing it to express itself through your words required detaching and letting your soul's hidden message have a voice--a voice with a message for all of us. Well done!!*
