Many Voices of Me

Hear their voices 

echoing from 

many ages ~

listen to them 

for their wisdom, 

their many moods, 

their downfalls, 

their achievements, 

remember each step 

along the way 

steps rushed or slow, 

faltering or striding forth. 

Hear their voices merge 

into the one voice that 

lives in today. Honour them 

all, be kind to them all 

for they are who you 

embody today.

“I’m safe inside this container called me.”

~ Haruki Murakami

Inspired by a poem I read online, but am unable to find again to credit the author with helping me to write my post tonight.
