It's Not The Words Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

The inner voice
Speaks volume
Not political gibberish
Or economic projections
Neither religious sermon
Nor spectacular love songs
The inner voice holds the door open
Between you and the eternal wisdom
Not to confuse or fill you with spiritual goose bumps
But to light the way and pave a path of hope
It's the blindfolded existence
That's full of uncertainty, pain and despair
The inner voice removes the blindness
The dependence on logic, money and connections
Unfolding the everlasting path of light
To illuminate your being
And fill you heart with wisdom
It's not the words
It's the presence of Love
In your inner being
That will give you strength
And courage to climb the ladder of consciousness
Where you will be undressed of your ego
Fed the fruits of the spirit
Be full of compassion, gentleness and humility
Be kind hearted and offer your heart
To the altar of Love
Be the sacrifice
And the covenant
In the tabernacle of the Truth
You will look at your fellow human being
And see the face of God
Not out of confusion
But out of infusion with wisdom
The inner voice
Speaks volume
If only you can pause
And listen
You will find yourself
Inside the sacred abode of God
