New thoughts bounce around
inside my head as fireflies did
when I used to gaze at stars
in hopes of persuading the
dark and disheartening night.
Surrender to inner voice that
beckons from deep inside the
subconscious — it’s the only
way to emerge unconquered.

There’s so much hope in this, Sanaa! I love this phrase:
“New thoughts bounce around
inside my head as fireflies did”
Thank you so much, Frank ☺️ so glad you liked it ❤️
Any mention of fireflies gets my vote, every time. Beautiful, Sanaa.
Thank you so much, De ☺️ so glad you liked it ❤️

I hope there are still fireflies and gazing stars…

An especially deep and lovely meditative type poem, Sanaa. I, too, love those fireflies, the light in darkness. Sadly, we don’t have them in the Western US. Sometimes my thought bounce around like that–I’ve always called it monkey mind but I like the idea of fireflies better.
Aww gosh❤️ Thank you so much,Victoria ☺️ so glad you liked it❤️
(Monkey mind sounds cute😄)

Your poem sounds very close to me, whispers in my ears, literally. I saw the fireflies and the disheartening night. “Emerge unconquered” – I really liked that notion.

The subconscious can be such a potent force if one can garner its powers in the right way!

The inner voice some say is the voice of your guardian angel who watches over you.
Definitely 🙂 thanks for stopping by, Rall ❤
Nice poem, Sanaa. You are right, you can’t trust those stars. They’re far away and not even having life or a spirit. Trust yourself or your spouse our a friend, etc.

I meant also to say, THANK YOU for the nice Elliot prompt.
