Thoughts Captive

The noise of silence can be deafening Alone in a room, yet the silent voices speak at high volume The first reminds of past failures While the next celebrates your accomplishments There’s one that makes you second guess decisions Yet another gives you confidence in wisdom used Taking your thoughts captive; a necessary step to sanity A negative choice makes for a lesson learned A positive move leads to building on to the next How you manage the choices you've made Leads to the type of 'noise' you experience Good and Bad Turn up the volume on those that uplift Quiet the silent noise leading to despair December 27, 2021 ~ Ms. Affection

Turn up the volume on those that uplift. That is the best advice I ever did hear dear poet. Thank you for sharing such a lovely poem this evening,
