A flurry of inner thoughts

‘In the Downpour of Inner Speech’ speaks of emotional overload — a state in which too much has been said and heard, and words have lost their colour, becoming laden with emptiness and filled with weariness. The rain falls relentlessly, mercilessly, and begins to wash away everything that has been unravelled, thought through, spoken, heard and lived through. Everything over which the mind tried to maintain control.

Somewhere amidst this ceaseless downpour, a shift takes place. Weariness turns to acceptance; silence is no longer a punishment, but a gift. Thoughts no longer seek answers but simply drift away. And when the very last word fades away, only quiet clarity remains. The soul has found its way out of the abundance of emotions. The surface, cleansed by the downpour, offers the chance to start afresh. For after that, the rain falls differently.
