On Inner Voice

Woke up
Had a few dreams
But I was quick to dismiss
And start work right away

It’s been a busy period
Focused much on the outside
Not so much on the inside

Guilt crept in
Attention shifted to it
And then I realized

I remembered

All the insights I’d gathered
How much I have improved
As a Human being
By hanging out with my inner voice

For without it,
I am just a mirror
To the outside
An unreal self

My inner voice is my own,
My truly own gateway to God

Thank you guilt
For reminding me
That while there’s treasure outside
There’s treasure within, too
