As one walk into the path that has been laid
The wicked soul hit up the thought:
"Where do you plan to go? Oh please! I need to know"
"Do I seem the one for walking? Go ask the feet itself!"
"Why ask me to ask the feet? We both know the feet can't speak!"
"It appears you know a lot, you soul!
But how come you're so naive?"
"No I'm not, you freaky mind!
How come you forgot 'tis you?"
Then thought froze and got lost for words,
It saw the stills of grayed blankness.
Yet it knew that the soul was right,
And so it leaned back and the eyes begins to weep.
"I'm not sure where to go. I'm not lost though I feel away"
"The heart my dear mind!
The heart summoned me, for you won't give an ear."
"And why should I bother 'bout what the heart covets?
I'm certain 'tis nothing but its own keep!"
"The heart desires more than what you can give,
Though its you who incessantly steers"
"And what do you suppose I ought do?"
"To acquiesce and to fathom that
faculty and core must verse to charge as one."

Jane...this is very interesting. I think it is the poet's bane to talk to self/s...I know that I do. Welcome to passions!

Got me to thinking as I was reading...thinking that the feet and the heart, etc., were having problems because they were not answering to the "one." And, then you made the point! I call it surrender of the heart and mind to the soul. It's the hardest thing for a human to do, I think.
