Heart Versus Mind

The heart wanted the apple pie, but the mind knew better. Had a fist fight daily, no matter what barometric pressure or weather. I want what I want the heart insisted, persisted, alive and well. Forget it, lady, replied the mind. I’d sooner see you in h….. Can an alliance be formed? Can the mind and heart somehow agree? I think it is possible; giving them a tiny, heartfelt push and a plea. Heart craved walnuts, but was allergic so Mind would protest. Mind suspected the worst, stopping the heart daily, I have to confess. Battled daily, up and down fields, hills, and under a steep walkway. Too serious, unfortunately, neither knew how to loosen or play.
