I wander as most people do
Through thoughts of day and nightly dream
To then be stopped by voice of new
That talked about each place I’d been
Of childhood days that linger on, pieces of my time
Records of my inner eye, which I recall as mine

Repeatedly the voice did speak
By whisper and by calming way
By gestures that just turned me weak
As I walked with peace and day
One voice and then more appeared
Till off the path once more I veered

The conversation filled my mind
But somehow I did feel at peace
No other on that day could find
A gathering and such release
Outwardly I softly said
I love the voices in my head

So on my wanderings I share
In space of wake or sleeping time
A joining with the voices there
That with my conversation rhyme
And there my soul with warmth does grow
When voices come and bless me so

Dear Rick

This....
By gestures that just turned me weak
As I walked with peace and day
One voice and then more appeared
Till off the path once more I veered

this made me want to stop and regroup inside myself...sorta like discipline in paramount


So on my wanderings I share
In space of wake or sleeping time
A joining with the voices there
That with my conversation rhyme
And there my soul with warmth does grow
When voices come and bless me so


navagating a question through my soul
"What kind of person do you want to be?"

I'm still growing yanno?

wonderful to see you and read you

Dear Sunshine, I too love the voices, love your play with the words, thanks for your reply, great to see you yet again my friend.

Dear Martyjo, great to see you here, I have so many voices I get confussed at times, then try to speak to each on of them. Thanks for you reply, much appreciated.

Dear Lee, good to see you here this morning, you share so much with me my friend, I think one of these voices might be yours, you give me such depth of thought and inner ponder with your replies, thank you so much for that, will write again soon my friend and again we shall chat.

To you all my friends, again thank you.

Sincerely
Rick
