A Battle Within
A battle rages on
within my soul.
My flesh seeks its own desire
Though higher purpose
Whispers quietly within.
This beast cries out,
In agonizing shout
To have its way
without delay
despite the cost.
Will all be lost?
But higher purpose whispers quietly within,
Waiting to be heard;
Conquering the beast
And Love given to the least.
What master will I serve?
