Hidden Clues

When I pause and seek to listen,
    To that voice that's deep inside.
My search often finds only silence,
    As if intuition has abandoned and died.

This moves me to sounds I observe,
    With perception that's experienced and real.
While exercising any lack of emotion,
    Where the technical outweighs any feel.

Now I realize the empirical shortfalls,
    are rarely guided by any moral debate.
Yet the need is both complex and basic,
    So that we sense a value, between love and hate.
