What talents lie dormant within?
To hide or not use them is a sin
sharing them brings joy to many
Talent is a blessing never a burden
using them brings much benefit
or we are all bereft of your gift
Find your talent as it often
compliments your purpose
it can be the key to meaning
So don’t be miserly or demeaning
allow it to blossom and radiate out
practice makes it stronger, even stout
Daily Prompt: Dormant
Words as these come from knowing, knowing comes from the heart. Beautiful verse, thank you for sharing it,🌼

I agree! Sometimes it’s scary to “put ourselves out there,” but our talents were meant to be used and shared.

Perhaps we need to read something like this to realize we have a talent, when others tell us so we doubt it or are embarrassed by their praise. Thanks Kate, going to Reblog.

This is filled with positive thoughts on harnessing our talents…at times we don’t what it is…or how much and how far we can and go…we need people, events, things or circumstances to bring out the best in us..

So true a dormant mind is a wasted one, but not to fret the dormant mind will live again.

Excellent poem with a message that is as true as it was ten thousand years ago. I am sometimes amazed that our “talent” for some particular activity is often something we “don’t want to do.” Once though we get at it, whether it’s writing, gardening, woodworking, speaking to crowds or whatever, we find out how much we enjoy it. And even then sometimes that “love” takes a while to develop. :-).
Thanks for the positive message!

I agree, every one has talents which are dormant within and when you train them they come out.
