I often wonder why my soul is so quiet
It has to be so silent for me to hear my soul's voice
I often wonder why my ego is so loud
My ego's shouts are heard, even in the loudest of noise
Perhaps the answer lies in the inherent nature
The inherent nature of ego and soul
Perhaps the inherent nature of soul is stillness
and that of ego is not quiet at all
It would be easier to live a life full of love,
surely if our soul, a bit louder would cry
But it may well be that love without silence
would not be true love; perhaps that's why...?
Associating soul with quietness and ego with loudness reminds me that an empty vessel produces sound where as a filled in vessel is calm and quiet. It's a nice thoughtful poem.
Our Indian style says to do meditation to make the sole active as by default it always tries to sleep. NICE POEM SIR. THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

A great poem, maybe our souls keeps our egos in check to make sure it doesn't get too big. If that's the case imagine how big our egos would be if our souls did not keep it in check.
