~ Walking Your Own Path ~
Never has your inner peace depended upon
What others might say
For it is within those rolling benefits
Of walking your own path each day
With the humble awareness
That you're doing things your own way
Where the softest pillow
Upon which your head may lay
Speaks to your soul of the generosity
You have imparted to others that day
Lulling you into that singular sleep
Where what other men might say
Simply, matters not
For you have turned the nonsensical away
And that, my fair-minded friend,
Is where the hidden truth
Revealed in dreams, does lay
And true genius
Comes into play
Through a subconscious parlay
With the universal mind
Manifesting, as a kind of wisdom
Acquired through your constitutional
That precious path,
You take,
Each day...
Tony Taylor

What a serene and peaceful write Tony and all of it speaks of enlightenment and inner peace. We all have a core of iron, an inner strength within and when we realise this the trivialities of life and the opinions of others fade away. Sometimes though the internal battles remain...though nit in your case it seems. I envy your peace of mind ...fabulous write x

Wow Tony, this is a mindful and serene read indeed. A gentle stroll through the internal thinking and wisdom of you my friend. And the piece itself is highlighting that gift we all have internally. The power of the self and self belief. Trusting the inner voice which is often the one most full of reason. There is a tranquility in your lines which reflect for me, the intent of the message in this write. So beautiful, thanks for sharing

well worth the slow meander I took upon first visiting this page sir .. savoured each and every drop so I did .. indeed that initial intoxicating meditative amble proved somewhat therapeutic .. stress busting in fact yet left me wanting to rush back to the beginning and read through a second time .. and if my memory serves correctly, that was three reads ago ....................................... in fact if this page was a thoroughfare .. all the grooves I have worn into it would be smokin ................ Rockets to ya
and pinned to transcendental poetic heaven....................... Neville
