There always seems to be a choice,
Between the inner and outer voice,
Of to follow one with earnest force,
While temporarily the other do divorce.
The choice is not always with ease
When beckoning echoes make one deceived,
Whether the call be from within or without,
And to assay the merits of what each is about.
But at times the without may be the many,
Like the crowd calling us to the ready,
Or an inner voice with a dim glow,
That says, “I don’t think this is really so.”
The bi-cameral mind may toss a coin,
To decide with vigour which way be boirn,
But is with a clear decisive plan or act,
That scales the summit to conquor or place back.
And whichever your fancy of track or way,
There only be one thing that I can say,
That the one thing that has carried you from the start,
Is the rhythm and pulse of your continuing heart.
Thank you for this is has cleared my troubled mind. You write beautififully.
I really love this one Richard. It is the Within/Without that its all about! Thank you. With love, deborah
It didn't take long to decide on this poem, I like it! Nice reading!
