Good morning everyone,
hoping to do something appreciated, I'm sharing a poem from my first book of poetry. Title: Inward Quest
I warmly welcome your thoughts on it.
Inward Quest
In the depth of quiet solitude,
An inward quest I pursued,
Through labyrinthine corridors of thought,
To uncover truths my soul has sought.

Thank you! Indeed, the inward journey and self-discovery are profound aspects of the human experience. If you have any thoughts or reflections on the theme of inward quests or if there's a particular aspect of the poem that resonates with you, feel free to share. I'd love to hear your perspective!

In the intricate tapestry of my contemplations, I sought the truth of self-discovery, a profound understanding of who I am and my purpose in this vast existence. The inward quest led me to unravel the layers of my being, exploring the nuances that make me unique and connecting with the universal truths that bind us all. It's a journey toward authenticity, wisdom, and the essence of what it means to truly live.
But the search never ends.

I wondered if that was just the first verse, or if there were more verses to your poem.
For me, it was a bit short, but your words do describe pretty well the inward journey.
The inward quest involves more than just thought, though, and perhaps a second verse to delve into it deeper, perhaps mentioning love, might be interesting too.
Love always should line every inner journey with itself.

@RRossi Thanks.
There is no real inner journey without love lighting the way, otherwise, our mind just gets bogged down in its own darkness.
Love allows us to probe deeper, as God's truths are hidden within love, which we discover as we love and go into love, at ever-deepening levels, and so we build wisdom too, from our life experiences with love, wisdom that our mind can then live more from, rather than from its own input of reactionary thinking, to its own thoughts alone.
Thoughts, sent via love, via our heart, coming from our soul, are higher thoughts that can guide us through such intuitional interactions with us here in our lives.
Love is the light on our journey inwardly.

Yes, the poem I shared is complete, consisting of a single verse. I appreciate your feedback and the suggestion to delve deeper into the inward journey, incorporating the theme of love. It's a beautiful and meaningful addition.
If you have specific thoughts on how love could be woven into the exploration of the inner quest or if you'd like to share your perspective on the role of love in personal journeys, I would be interested to hear more. Feel free to elaborate or provide any insights you might have!

@innertalks Your reflection beautifully emphasizes the profound connection between inner journeys and love. Love, as the guiding light, not only deepens our understanding of ourselves but also allows for a richer, more meaningful experience of life.
