‘Goodbye & Farewell’

I awake to the light of day

My mind though

falling

Falling through a whirlpool of night

to a strange land

a land of confusion

Truth and lies united

How to know?

from my Heart?

or my Soul?

Walking to no destination

The place I want to take you though

is somewhere you’ve never been

A place Pure and Clear

Pure, where Lies can never fruit

and Clear

as clear as the Truth

I cannot take you there

My mind is climbing the valleys

of the confused land in attempt to escape

The only one who can take you there

is Yourself

So here we go our separate ways

To different never expected destination

Leaving our memories to fade!

Walid recently rediscovered his passion for writing when he came across some poems which he had written more than 20 years ago.

Walid receives inspiration when spending time in nature and when reading or listening to authors like Alan Watts, Carl Gustav Jung, Fritjof Capra, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Gregg Braden, Bruce Lipton, Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, Wayne Dyer, Denis Waitley and Anthony Robbins.

He also finds that he unveils deep insights and reflections when writing speeches that he delivers at his local Toastmasters’ public speaking club.

Rumi said, “there is a voice that doesn’t use words… listen”. When we spend time in nature, and when we read and write about subjects we resonate with, we begin to hear the whispers of our inner voice.
