Leon Brown Quote: "Listen to your own voice, your own soul. Too many ...

The words of my soul are not just for me, The words that follow were like a decree. “These words are eternal, I share with thee, To be shared with others to some degree. Every word I speak will always be true, Nothing I say will be only for you. My thoughts and my words, although they’re unique, Will only be passed on if you write or speak. Don’t edit or alter, don’t change a word, Just pass them along, just like you’ve heard. When my words are conveyed whether spoken or written, By the truths within them, some will be smitten. The answers you’re seeking, though soulfully sought, Like, why effort it seems, is sometimes for naught. To you I’ll reveal and clearly explain, As soothing and fresh as a springtime rain. Thanks for allowing my thoughts to appear, More thoughts are coming to dispel any fear. My thoughts once hidden will now have a voice, Given their freedom because of your choice.”

I agree, Silent One. We all have some thoughts that are meant to be shared with others. Usually, they are the poems that just flow through us. It really doesn't take much effort to write them. Thanks for your thoughtful comments, my friend. Have a great day! Bill

Thank you for your thoughts on my poetry, Daniel, and for the FAV! It always makes me smile when someone thinks a poem I wrote is a FAV to them. I used quotations marks to indicate the spirit was speaking to me. There are times when I feel guided as I write a poem. I try to just let the spirit guide my pen. Thanks for reading and commenting on my poetry and for being a poetry soup friend. Have a blessed Easter weekend. Bill

Dear bill, you are a natural with rhymes, they just flow so beautifully in such a captivating manner. I love so many lines in this and i can tell every poem you weave, is one with words from your soul, theres always a pinch of sincerity in your words which i truly appreciate and admire too, as for me originality and sincerity matters, i must highlight “ To you I’ll reveal and clearly explain, As soothing and fresh as a springtime rain.“ how soulfully moving and poetically eloquent! A fave it is

"When my words are conveyed whether spoken or written, By the truths within them, some will be smitten." Words when spoken from the heart with good intentions and embodying truth will have great effect. Your tone is so reassuring too, spoken with conviction. A very edifying poem dear Bill. Wish Sara and you a Happy Easter!

At times I think a monastery might have been a good choice for me, then I think about no Sara. Nope, I'm where I was meant to be. Thanks for the comments, my dear friend. Have a pleasant weekend. Bill

such soulful words! Your poem speaks to the value of sharing soulful and wise words. I especially liked: To you I’ll reveal and clearly explain, As soothing and fresh as a springtime rain. Your poem was calm and reassuring. Thanks for sharing today, hugs, Sara
