There is a silence about you
That has never been explored
So many things inside you
That are still fighting a war
Some days can be unkind
Other days you will try to forget
Just stay for all of those days
Today more than all of the rest
Be gentle with your soul
It needs to be treated kindly
Give some time to heal
It needs your care and patience

Stephen’s poetry inspires one to look within and know oneself a little better. We crave for love and care from others but neglect that there’s an ocean of love inside us. Dip into it and soak in its tranquil waters. Healing can only begin when the heart and mind love each other. Such an inspiring way to say that self-love is most important.
Congratulations Stephen!

So true. Be gentle with ourselves and don’t beat ourselves up too much just to fit an impossible role. Life has alternatives. Open our mind to possibilities…
