Inner voice

In this life we have a choice

to listen to that inner voice,

or to ignore its wisdom randomly

and follow our hearts more freely.

Yet, that voice will not be still,

not when its message is God’s will,

so we may as well pay more attention

to the things that this voice mentions.

The heart doesn’t always comprehend

the dangers lurking around the bend,

but would merrily go along its way

if the mind fails to make it stay.

That inner voice appeals to the mind,

reminding it of things that bind,

of niceties with immense charm

that covers its deceitful harm.

It’s better to listen to that dialogue,

to let it clear the mental fog,

to take direction and advice,

before we pay too steep a price.
