Sounds in My Soul

As a young man I was not very smart
for brain cells were never my game,
but I did what I could, for without any doubt,
through hard work I had ample to gain.

The cleverer folk seemed to learn things with ease
while I had to struggle indeed.
My memory seemed so pathetic at times
that I had to replant every seed.

But working things out just came natural to me
and this is what carried me through,
instead of just knowing the things I'd been told,
I'd learn what the reason was too!

My total approach was directed by this
for to seek was the way I would gain,
if it didn't sink in, what they meant me to know,
then I find it myself with some pain.

So the things I now know are unique to me,
bought with searching, acceptance and time.
I know that my views are the bricks of my mind
and foundations built up in my prime.

But the things that I feel are the sounds in my soul,
they're the voices that all play their part.
No knowledge or learning can wash them away
for these things are entrenched in my heart.

A bond strong indeed to all mankind’s seed
where my being is mingled with soul,
this place I must go when my God makes it so,
for it’s there that I have my prime role.

Sometimes to share in everyone's care
but at times just to offer my hand
or to help someone there to release the despair
that they found as they entered this land.

Sometimes just a word is still needed here,
to convince folk that death's not the end.
A few personal thoughts shared only by them
to prove they’ve still bonds with their friends.

At times evil people who never were nice
will cause people harm though the veil
and if not deterred from their mischievous ways
leave evil and hate in their trail.

It’s then that my strength is assisted by God
in fighting his cause with my mind,
for closing the pathways to evil‘s intent
takes an army of goodness combined.

No master's degree, that I never would gain,
could help bridge the path to the soul,
but the voices inside that you feel with your heart
are the way that leads straight to the 'whole'.

So be not afraid of those who would scoff
then denounce you and chuckle with mirth.
Let them all proclaim that it's all in your mind,
for it is,…. ....and it's been there since birth!

Ivor G Davies

The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

wow, dear Sir, you certainly know that knowledge is learned, trained and drilled which we have also trained dog to count and elephant to paint. But a kind soul and wisdom are gifts from God.
You are so very right.
and your are very bright
you kindle through your poem
every verse a burning light


enjoyed.
and happily enjoy your holiday, Sir.

A friend in London called me 7:30 US time. She told me that today is your country's holidy. (Bank's day? or Money's day?
