Follow Your Heart

You've heard it said... "follow your heart" For relentless desire bleeds for craven want Yet when indecision weighs on life's many parts Those opposed abandon not incessant haunt Pin pricked light shines brighter Through onyx colored scene Weakness revealed when life is darkest Specks of defect in the fortress of our need Ones heart can be a complexity An up hill struggle when obscurity feels blind A quandary of perception in a house of mirrors Reflections twisted by perplexities of the mind Follow your heart yes live your dreams Leave not your mind unreasoned To walk the path less traveled leaves A consequence of actions completed So it is with indecision To scale the weight of what's to come When precious life hangs trembling in the balance A calculated measure of the hearts true sum Can we really overthink those choices we make For somewhere every road has an end Rugged or velvety destinations take root And blossom where choices were stemmed I've heard of double minded fools Tossed like waves in the sea Perhaps it's simply this woman's folly To think it couldn't happen to me Oh to measure the value of dreams Which to follow or leave for not Simplicity frowns on passions extremes Such answers must be skillfully wrought I pray that with my every tomorrow I'll be wiser than today Knowing when it's time to seek the dream And patient if I must wait For now I wish but only To know my own heart in truth And weigh the scales of value correctly Then follow with greater wisdom when in naivety's youth
