MUSINGS:

In the quiet moments of life, where the mind’s whispers softly echo, we often overlook the power of gentle guidance. The poem, “Whispers of the Mind,” draws us into a serene reflection on how we tend to our inner world. The mind, like a child, is not to be commanded with force but led with the tenderness of stories that console and heal.

When we shout at ourselves, pushing with harsh demands, we find only emptiness. True peace lies not in control but in the delicate art of understanding and nurturing our thoughts with grace. The poem reminds us that our minds, fragile as they are, respond not to the heavy hand but to the soft touch of wisdom. Like waves that gently shape the shore, our thoughts too can be moulded with calm persistence.

This evocative journey into the depths of our psyche encourages us to embrace the quiet, where true wisdom resides. As we walk this path of calm, guided by the heart’s compass, we discover that in the stillness, the soul finds its way.

WHISPERS OF THE MIND

?

In the quiet of the mind, where whispers softly tread,?

Steer not with forceful hands, but with a gentle thread.?

Like a child drawn to stories that soothe and console,?

Entice it with sweet tales, let tenderness take hold.?

?

For shouts and harsh commands leave only hollow sound,?

In the depths of the heart, no peace can there be found.?

But with the touch of grace, like a lullaby’s soft sway,?

Soothe its restless murmurs, gently lead it away.?

?

The mind, a fragile vessel, resists the heavy hand,?

Yet yields to quiet wisdom, like waves upon the sand.?

In subtle whispers lies the art of true control,?

To guide with tender stories, to heal and make whole.?

?

So, tread the path of calm, where shadows softly fall,?

Let the heart be your compass, its wisdom, your all.?

For in the quiet moments, where the soul finds its way,?

The journey inward beckons, where truth and peace lay.
