Soul Speak If you listen to me in moments of introspection there is no guarantee roads are paved in perfection life is a series of mishaps and pain a drama of fun and fortune tears and smiles through sun and rain yet, it seems, that I'm the one in the middle between your head and heart I shouldn't play second fiddle my role is a sacred part I'm the stairway to God's ears still you tuck me away when our answers don't fit your needs or tears remember, a heart and brain can lead you astray ~ Indeed, a heart is a well-crafted gift pumping poetry of love and compassion yet, emotion can lead you adrift sometimes it's decisions grow out of fashion and so many times before your heart has fallen for desire it leads you to illogical doors burning bridges with selfish fire ~ A brain is a powerful tool solving equations of mysteries often achievements play the fool if you void dreams and fantasies yes, your IQ can bring opportunites going far in the world of smarts but, don't sacrifice your inner child tossing aside your soul of hearts... beauty of excitement can fade away in the dull of only an Einstein day ~ I am well-designed to stand the tests of time I am your other self who seems to be the first left on the shelf time and time again, you ignore intuition to bring lusts and ideas to fruition so, perhaps, there is one flaw with a soul I'm the last one digested from life's bowl ~ It seems that I'm always the one in the middle I am your soul - your inner truth, I won't play second fiddle you must use your heart, head and soul else, the hours of why? can take their toll use all three equally, and you will see that you're on the right path to being free By Melissa P.

It seems that I'm always the one in the middle I am your soul - your inner truth, I won't play second fiddle you must use your heart, head and soul else, the hours of days can take their toll use all three equally, and you will see that you're on the right path to being free it is all about balance is it not.... and you stated it well in this piece.. I enjoyed!!! |

Wisdom, heart, and truth. Such a wonderful mix tied together in a beautiful write. You grow each time you write and not only in your creations but in your understanding and sharing. Well done. |

~ I am well-designed to stand the tests of time I am your other self who seems to be the first left on the shelf time and time again, you ignore intuition to bring lusts and ideas to fruition so, perhaps, there is one flaw with a soul I'm the last one digested from life's bowl ~ It seems that I'm always the one in the middle I am your soul - your inner truth, I won't play second fiddle you must use your heart, head and soul else, the hours of why? can take their toll use all three equally, and you will see that you're on the right path to being free ===================== what a COOL inspire...what a clever write... and I love the rhyme flow...and the way you changed off the rhyme scheme... love the title too. wonderful write of heart and soul and MIND... very cool Melis...your pen does you proud once again Feels like Im dancin with truth and wisdom |

Hm, it is so hard to listen to the right thing when your heart is speaking so loudly. Excellent contemplative poem. Sandra |
