" GOD'S VOICE "

" GOD'S VOICE "

Somehow I knew
I'd awaken at two that day
I arose with the knowledge
That my ego was my enemy
My greatest enemy
Where separation of self is born
And greatness
No longer matters
I was becoming something
That philosophically
I had to battle
The mistrust of the voice
Inside my head
That voice I assumed was me
So often had led me astray
Through my own arrogance
And unwillingness or inability
To make the needed
Reflective effort
To recognize the duality
In my own thoughts
And the awareness
That the goodness within myself
Could be nurtured
And brought so very near
To helping me become
The God-fearing man
I wish so desperately

Hello brother...

You're poem is like an echo....of the thousands of poems I've written...God is always reminding me...of what's inside of the writer..... Of what we only see in our reflection....and our reflection always speaks of change....

A beautiful view of the soul of the writer, as he reflects

~~Reflective effort
 To recognize the duality
 In my own thoughts
 And the awareness
 That the goodness within myself
 Could be nurtured"

We nurture ourselves, our soul through writing and recognizing our own agonizing thoughts...the disruptive and eruptive....one that destroys, and one that awakens....

To see inside the soul takes a long journey.  A journey that turns you inside out...and you come back, into a world....that shines with God's light of beauty....the tortured soul..is no more....

God bless you Tony....

Have a great life and writing journey :)

Keep smiling ;)

love and hugs to you and Cherie :) :) :)
