Winsome Ringing
Logorrheic speech,
not my tendency anymore,
especially not to self.
Few inner dialogues,
little inane chatter.
Living alone I do talk
to myself judiciously,
when something surprises
or puzzles me.
Often I sing myself a song
and sometimes,
for credible comfort,
I cheer myself out loud.
Mostly I hear the selftalk
babble quietly along
the brook of a thought stream.
The best is between the thoughts.
That’s when I hear
the winsome ringing of awareness.

Absolutely love this! Wish I could practice less inner talk!
Michele, It makes me happy that you read my work!
