Today, the chime of a bell
Sliced through the noise of the air
And everything became so clear.
Before, I was overwhelmed by the noise,
The gushing waters, the roaring winds
The increasingly loud chatter of the crowd,
Evading my thoughts, whispering lies
Gossip, fears, worries,
Wrapping the air in a dense smokescreen,
A terribly thick fog, where
I could not see my own two hands
Reached out in front of me.
You were right, you are always right,
I shouldn't have let their words get to me,
I should always listen to the quiet song,
Humming in my own heart.
It never had to be difficult,
Overthinking can twist unnecessary knots
Between the rope that links us.
Today, I remembered a promise to myself,
To be strong, kind, and hard-working,
To give my best in everything I do,
To understand everyone, not demean them,
To believe
And the rest will come naturally,
As the wind guides our voices throughout the lands.
