The Power of Poetry - Poems for Inner Peace
William Wordsworth
Life is frenetic. Everything is running faster which usually means we are running later. Everything should have been done 5 minutes ago or better still yesterday. We are slowly falling behind, overwhelmed by busy lives in an ever-exacting world.
In these more modern times, time is everything. There’s never enough of it.
So how do we slow down and become more comfortable with our lives, how do we find a balance? Life shouldn’t just be one task after another. Yes, a good life has to be worked for, found time for, but life should also be enjoyed and savoured.
One answer may lie in the past. Classic poets down the decades and centuries have wisely observed that there are many things, both great and small, that bring a sense of stillness, an aura of calm, a chance to re-engage with our feelings and emotions purely by taking time for moments that matter.
With verse and poems from the likes of William Shakespeare, Alexander Pope, Mirabai, Tagore, Rumi and the calming balms of many others that soothe the soul and bring the inner peace we all need.
