The Winter rings the wiseman’s song

 

Ever so fleetingly

and just for a while,

in forms formless it dwells

 

In the ether of the crisp Winter wind,

it whispers to us…

 

Whispering Wisdom’s melody,

through Nature’s harp of leafless branches

of the white Winter trees

 

Ever so fleetingly

and just for a while,

in forms formless it dwells

 

In the ether of the crystal Winter sunlight,

it appears to us…

 

Underneath a historic arch,

as a magical reflection of an elderly wise woman,

offering Wisdom’s light

to the Spirit of her wiseman’s song

 

Ever so fleetingly

and just for a while,

in forms formless it dwells

 

The Spirit of Winter's wisdom song!

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.
