UBC 25 - AtoZ - Voices


Day 25  of the Ultimate Blogging Challenge and the letter  V  for the  AtoZ Blogging Challenge.


V is for  ...  VOICES

Thought it was time to write a poem.  Sharing the poem from my poetry blog  ...


image source wikipedia


Take the road less travelled
Said a thought inside my head
That road is long and gravelled
But to treasures you'll be led

Take the next detour
Said a thought inside my head
Though it drizzles, maybe pours
But to sunshine you'll be led

The feet they keep to familiar path
Squashed is the thought inside my head
Then Spirit nudges without wrath
The road I walk is shred

You cannot reach the highest heights
If you cannot try be bold
Learn not to push away or fight
The voices of your soul


Have a happy day.


Warm Regards

    Beautiful, Suzy. Take the road less travelled. So many of us are too afraid of going down that path. You write poetry so well.

    Voices of our souls get lost these days in the bad words we speak, the wrongs we do to others and many of us sadly have no idea how to listen to that inner voice within us. Beautiful poetry :)

      Very true Bhavya, but hopefully one day it comes through loud and strong and it makes us listen.

    Beautiful suzy ! you have written to so well, voices from within is suppressed when we are too lost, we need quiet times to listen, i always remember the ad that says dil ki awaz sunno.. and it does take a lot of courage to take the road less travelled ..

      Thanks Martha - it is inviting and exciting, but stepping on it is quite a different matter. I am of course talking about the big step a completely different route in life. Not an easy step to take.

    "Back to Sunlight you'll be led" - that belief, that for me captures the soul of this poem. It is that hope, that self-confidence, that faith in The Big One that makes all the difference.

    Lovely poem S.
