The Voice Beckons

Seconds, minutes,

hours crawl by,

events rendered

Immobile due to

the unknown,

unable to decide

Where to go next.

Despite the confusion,

the soul's voice is

Subtle yet clear

as it rises to guide

the lost mind,

Pointing to the

path of clarity,

salvation.

Entwined

As the

year closes, I

long for what I truly

desire from another, souls

entwined.

Connecting With the Soul

When I feel

lost and

disconnected,

I take a

deep breath,

centering myself,

Seeking the way

to reconnect

with my soul.

By traveling

through this sacred

path, I keep living.

Unlocking the Soul

We always search

for the key

To unlock the gates

of tranquility

When that hiding place

rests within our souls.

All we need to do

is tune out the hectic

Noise and chaos streaming

constantly in our minds

So we can listen to

the soothing words our souls

Whisper, speak, sing

to us daily.

Kindred Soul

My soul is like

a kindred spirit

That understands

my needs and wants.

Upon receiving

happiness it sings;

When it's deprived

of happiness, it cries.

My soul knows my

innermost thoughts,

Reaching out to me

when I feel alone.

It urges me

to live my life

It urges me

to chase my dreams.

Look Within

As I look into the mirror,

I view myself

with fresh eyes;

I take in

my wavy hair and

the light in my

mahogany eyes,

I take in

the marks left by

blemishes, for they

co-exist with the glow.

I take a good view

of myself as I venture

into my soul,

For to know yourself,

you must look within.

Inspired by 'Chicago Poet' by Carl Sandburg

Rise (a cinquain)

Sometimes

we feel alone,

yet the struggle ties us

together, strengthening our souls.

We rise.

Ray of Light (a haiku)

The summer beckons.

My soul is soaking the rays

of nourishing light.
