"voices we allow"
We leave the glass to let them pass, a crack to catch the wind,
But bar the gate before too late to keep the static banned.
For some will tread inside our head with heavy, muddy shoes,
While others creep into our sleep and leave us less to bother.
They bring their view to shape us new, or test the things we hold,
But we must sift the quiet gift from all the noise and dust.
A gentle tone becomes our own when it is softly spun,
To mend the seam of some old dream we thought that we must tend.

most pleasant read my friend
Most valued response my friend 🙏🏻🕊️
most welcome
This is nicely written with internal rhyme that carries a rocking meter giving a feel of surety to this piece. There are some great buildups and lines in this short piece "For some will tread inside our head with heavy, muddy shoes" What a great image this is. Loved it my friend
A most treasured review dear Soren 🙏🏻🕊️
Always my pleasure my friend
Good write A.
Thanks O🙏🏻🕊️
Nicely written. Your poem explores the tension between allowing certain influences into our minds while guarding against those that might disrupt our peace or distort our identity.
Most appreciated, Friendship, thank you 🙏🏻🕊️
As soon as you put the TV on there's people trying to influence you. As well as those Signs in Supermarkets telling you how much you are saving Shopping here. And the Prices keep going up. All Phycological Stuff.
Good Write.
And any device connected to the internet! 😂🕊️🙏🏻👍🏻
Your not wrong.
Arqios, this really struck me. We all have those voices competing for space in our heads, and I love the reminder that we still have a say in which ones get to stay. Wonderfully thoughtful, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
And even then, they don’t need to reside to make an impact. Thanks Tittu🙏🏻👍🏻
Indeed. You’re welcome!
